My conscious & subconscious turmoil

-At times I don't want to think, cause when I do my heart sinks

-Deep down way below, damn these thoughts I wish I didn't know

-Remembering mistakes, downfalls, & losses

-It hurts even worse knowing I caused this

-Self inflicted pain, oh how I wish I could turn off my brain

-Thoughts go away & don't come back any day

-I mean what I say, stay far away

-No thoughts welcomed around this way

-Remembering the past, my spirits immediately crash

-How could I have been that stupid, I often ask

-Trying to leave the past in the past, I take a sip or a puff then euphoria at last

-But once that bliss has passed, I'm back to being fragile like glass

-Consumed in my thoughts, take them away Lord I ask

-Thoughts go away & don't come back any day

-I mean what I say, stay far away

-No thoughts welcomed around this way

-But wait, thoughts are needed

-They're supposed to help keep wrong decisions from being repeated

-So, when thoughts randomly pop up, don't feel defeated

-It's for a reason, the reminder is needed

THE END
