State what's on my mind? (7)
I believe the answer is:
georgia
'mind?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'state what's on my' is the wordplay.
'state' becomes 'IA'.
'what's on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'my' becomes 'georg' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'ia' after 'georg' is 'GEORGIA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for georgia that I've seen before include "Country in the Caucasus" , "republic" , "Girl on my mind" , "American state, capital Atlanta" , "Nation state" .)
