The Mentor

What makes me think?  What makes me blink?
What makes me second-guess everything that I see?
The answer is not in what makes it you or me,
But it is troubling when I forget to breathe.

To feel claustrophobic beyond belief
Is like listening to your own blinking heart beat.
It is not as if there is no hope.
Only a sense of being out of scope.

I do not feel helpless or out of touch.
My inner strength feels very robust.
The pot hole inside is gaining ground.
What I really need is to feel profound.

What can I do to fill the hole?
All of my elements will be in control.
I need you there to see this through,
For what comes from your journey is in me too.
