~ The mind is a dangerous thing, at least in this reality
   Thinking you can handle it, maybe in its simplest formality
~ It'll play its tricks on you, cause massive amounts of confusion
   The understanding of this and that, it's all a delusion
~ The mind says you want it, maybe even need it
   But reality says you can't have it, not even a little bit
~ It's one or the other, so which statement is true?
   You listen to both of them, but that's nothing new
~ The mind makes the choice, to try and benefit life
   But reality is the decision, and cuts like a knife
~ Wanting this, desiring that. Will I get it if I try?
   The mind will say yes, but reality will still pry
~ The two turn into confusion, overwhelming ones emotions
   Too much to handle, you just give up all notions
~ Wishing you could understand, what is the conclusion?
   Can I achieve this? Maybe reality is the real delusion.

Simply how our minds and our reality like to confuse us. Was told to write about "Wanting things you can't have"
