Thoughts

Lisa Stanley

Helpless to the emotions

A captive of my own heart

My mind is never sleeping

In my thoughts nor in my dreams

The haunting never ceases

The feelings do not ease

The pain lingers still

I fight my mind the regret I feel

I can not change the reality

The past

Haunts me day and night

Twists my stomach

Into a thousand knots

Fills my soul with defeat

I try to run and can not hide

From the thinking that

Overcomes me

Distracts me

Destroys me

And she laughs and taunts me

Run , Run

But you can't hide

Your mind will always find you

    Escape from reality; that is what poetry is for. Express yourself, then read what you have written; dont just read it, but read it. Take your troubles and hang them on a tree, go back to get them the next day, you might find they have been set free. Good Job Miss Lisa. I use to live in Altamonte Springs, for over 30 years i was there. Ken
