My teacher told me to write a letter to someone I hate. This is what came to mind as I wrote:

Dear mind,
I love you, but I hate you. As crazy and insane as that sounds I honestly can not stand you. I need you though despite my anger toward you, you're beneficial to me. I could not read without you or comprehend complex words or situations. With you I can branch out into the limits of the world and uncover things I never knew. You are like a looking glass into knowledge that can be stored for later use. You help me answer questions like, "What do you think?" And "How do you feel about this?" because with you I can develop an opinion based on my feelings. You are very special, I'll give you that. I still don't like you. Do you want to know why?

You make me stay up at night because I'm worried about what my friends will think of my hair. I need to sleep. You taunt me with words like, "you aren't good enough" and "what makes you think you're special?". You constantly judge me and when I look in the mirror, you never have anything nice to say. You sit up there and you hurt me and you don't even care. Do you even realize what you're doing to me?

From, an angry teenager who wants to be happy.

As I gave my teacher the letter he read it and said, "Is this a letter to your mind..or to yourself?". I paused for a moment. I thought, do I control my mind..or does my mind control me? I finally said to him, "I don't know, but I believe one day this will be a love letter".
