The brain is like a CAGE,

it can either OPEN or CLOSE,

but only YOU can control it,

NO ONE else could do it.


When people gain too much CONFIDENCE,

their brain SHUTS DOWN,

filling it with JUNK,

and thinking FOUL.


When people get DISTRACTED,

their brains get filled with WORTHLESS power, 

what they actually need comes out as SHOWERS.


When people get STRESSED OUT,

their brain power turns LOW,

blocking out the USEFUL energy,

  filling it with unnecessary TOWERS.


The brain is an EXTRAORDINARY machine,

like no other kind SEEN,

it can solve all kinds of PROBLEMS,

SIMPLE or EXTREME.


But sometimes it FAILS,

to solve the most EASIEST trails,

not because it wasn't SMART,

it just didn't think OUTSIDE THE BOX.


Some of the world's most INTELLIGENT people, 

have OUTSTANDING minds-that's for sure,

but once they are asked to solve a SIMPLE problem,

their mind seems to be stuck in a HOLE.


See, their minds are so ENGAGED,

filled with extreme KNOWLEDGE and POWER,

but once you ask them for an EFFORTLESS solution,

the straight thoughts get DEVOURED.


The brain is born FREE,

to think whatever you WISH,

but there are some KEYS,

such as OVER-CONFIDENCE,

STRESS, and DEPRESSION,

which LOCKS the brain into a prison cell.


The brain is so POWERFUL,

it can take someone to the MOON,

but it can also do HARM,

like KILLING someone too soon.


It is up to the PERSON,

whether they want to get LOCKED or be SET FREE,

negative thoughts carry more KEYS,

positive thoughts allow you to SUCCEED.
