Thoughts
That don’t pay rent
There are thoughts that live in your head —
Rent free.
Then there are those that have stolen in
Taken the deed to the place
Smashed all the defenses
And made you pay;
In regret
In shame
In mental pain
And with that currency, they thrive
And rent out the place to others
So that the feeling grows
and you’re drowning
Sinking
Smothered in gray imaginings
until your head hits that pillow
and for a few blissful hours, you’re content
You’re free —
Only to wake up and do it all over again.
