MY THOUGHTS AND ME

They guide me 
Over seas and distant shores 
They create my craves 
And satisfies my more

They indulges me, when no one else will 
At times gravitating to fear 
Causing me to burst out in hives 
And nerve racking chills 

They tell me that I can
Even when my mind disagrees 
In the silence of the night 
They comfort me 

High above the heavens 
On sonic wings they fly 
Even though gravity shackles my feet
My thoughts takes me high 

They lure me, and pull me 
Into danger unseen 
And like a puppet on a string 
I dance while they sing

But without my thoughts, I cannot live 
The combination of good and bad 
Has taught me how to fight and forgive 

In your noisy presence 
Behind the doors of silence I hide
While me and my thoughts 
Enjoys the touch of gentle breeze 
And a quiet lullaby.
