Un-circular Reasoning

“We are dying from overthinking. We are slowly killing ourselves by thinking about everything. Think. Think. Think. You can never trust the human mind anyway. It’s a death trap.” – Anthony Hopkins

I followed my thought,

I just knew it was true.

It led me down the way,

I loved it straight through.

When I arrived at what

I thought was the end,

it spun me around

to start over again.

So the circle continued,

long day after long day.

My thoughts ran me ragged

They were more than I could pay.

At that moment of decision

confused but now I know,

just because my thoughts lead me,

doesn’t mean I should go.

Reason and Rhyme

“You’re right, he’s a killer,” you said. “A rooster with some serious issues.”
― Lucy Christopher, Stolen

I came sowing with tears into the life of your ruin

Knowing the pain will come to roost with me soon

Laughter is strange in this world of gloom

I lay down my peace to dance with your tune

Listen with care you simple of heart and small mind

Take this advice, listen to reason and rhyme

To ruin me were thoughts but you could only try

Never to win, this morning the rooster won’t die
