Puzzling Thoughts
Original Poem
The thoughts are engaged
Full speed ahead
Racing through the course of my mind
Not resting
Even as I dream they enter the scene
The more I run from them
The more clear before my eyes they become
Echoing their constant chant
Piercing when you try to ignore their cries
Twisting and shifting positions in the cortex
Trying to fit instead of float
Constant state of adjustment
Creative
Curious
Cruel
Thoughts intertwined
Shifts and controls the mind
