Mind

A mind,
In a dark dimension,
Producing complicated thoughts and insane expectations.
Consciousness is awoken inside,
An imagination runs wild,
Hallucinations are formed.
Hallucinations of a developing world,
Everything seen before you just a figure of imagination.
Aware of surroundings and able to respond,
But only with controlled expressions and simple movements.
Connections form in the brain,
Extensive knowledge is consumed and processed through an oriented flow of ideas,
Ideas provoking diverse emotions,
A continuous cycle that does not conclude until eternal rest.
