Empty Thoughts

"Master Of My Own Thoughts"

They say you're the master of your own thoughts...

If that is indeed true, why can't I choose what I think. When I'm laying in bed trying to sleep memories, wishes and what if questions tumble around my head.

It's like a never ending battle with myself. I can't shut it off. I can't get away from the thoughts that haunt me. I can't get away from myself.

They say you're the master of your own thoughts, but people like me can't be the master of anything.

We try to act normal. We try and hide what's really going on. We try to talk, even that leaves us questioning even more.

Nothing works. Nothing makes it go away. Nothing silences it. Nothing.

People like me can't master anything, we're a slave to the thoughts and the memories and the questions.

The sad truth is we're all fighting something or someone, maybe even ourselves...

Either you win or you die trying.
