Simple Thoughts

Simple thoughts lay me to rest

I fight everything in me just to bring out the best 

Anything I imagine becomes a test

Simple thoughts lay me to rest

Insanely surprised by what you see

Just take a look at my history

I breathe through my veins not my chest

As my blood flows east to west

Oh simple thoughts lay me to rest

Crippling past holds me back

It’s like growling wolves in a pack

Stuck in mud

Can’t seem to move

My past isn’t the best

Simple thoughts lay me to rest

These tears will fall down my face

Something I choose not to embrace

Tonight I’ll leave, won’t be a pest

So here I say lay me to rest,

“Simple thoughts lay me to rest. I’ve failed your challenge, couldn’t pass this test. It may seem I didn’t try very hard but maybe I was just dealt a different card. Dress me in my Sunday best, Oh simple thoughts lay me to rest.”
