Shut up Mind ! #3

There is one mind but split into two foes,
forever a battle of ego between them goes.

There is one which says,
You can do it, You have it,
Nothing will happen, Go for it.
It motivates you when in doubt,
It gives you courage when in fear.
It pushes you towards the rising sun.

Then there is the other one,
Its questions make you cower,
Its memories make you doubt.
It shouts idiot just back off,
First one is tricking you in trouble.
It pushes you towards the setting sun.

With new action, learning I plan,
Both foes start their mind battles.
How do you think will I win?

Buddha said:

Strengthen first, weaken the second
This is how you live and grow.

But there will come a time when
you give up both as first can't exist
without the second, they are inseparable twins,
when the time is right you give up these twins,
and then forever the sun will rise and shine.

Freedom

Freedom, does it really exist?
Says so the book we got freedom in 1947
I dont feel free, I am caught in myraid chains
My ambition, my ego, my desires, my image,
My conscience that reminds me what is right for me
What I cannot do and how I need to do what I can do
My fear of losing what I desire,
All make me question the existence of freedom.

And then I wonder if I ever do get free,
Free of all these chains will I be alive though still living?

Answers anyone?
