Our Life Is A Carefully Managed Parade; All Dressed Up In Phony Overconfidence Poem by Sajid Khan

Here we have a life that is restless and confusing

We keep accumulating trophies to compensate for missing happiness

Desires have bubbled up a huge pile to explore our whims

Our life is a carefully managed parade; all dressed up in phony overconfidence

Where the mind seeks to show off all the successes of life but

The brain wants more and more and more as the brain feels failure

Just being able to be a struggle to get to the top is making letdowns

We are running in a changing landscape to catch up to the Cahills

Without looking back to feel proud of how much defeat we have covered

The mind has worked hard to put luxury on life's platter and wants to rest down

The brain says a break will shatter the headiness so jump up and keep going

The mind wants to rest and rest and rest but the brain has life on a leash in the corner

The mind breaks down and the brain keeps barking jealousy and greed

The brain puts the body buried deep in emotional holes

The mind struggles to drag the body out.

The brain is in charge of the mind but the question is who is in charge of the brain?

The boss is the old self image powered by the flashbacks of enduring helplessly the slaps to the real self.
