My Bad Mind

This one is for my new cousin A.J.

Sometimes I get scared in the dark but I can't control it because it's my bad mind that gets scared. Sometimes I have my bad mind more than I have my good mind. I know when it's my bad mind because that's when I forget things or don't do stuff right.

My bad mind sometimes makes me not see so good. Like when I was at school I thought I got everything out of my cubby but I didn't really. I wish I could always have my good mind so I would remember everything and be good all the time. When my good mind fights with my bad mind, I hope my good mind wins.

[Dad's Note: I can only guess he's talking about his sometimes flaky/complacent self vs. his on-top-of-it self. It's a constant internal struggle most of us have. I've just never seen it in a 5 year old.]
