Those Thoughts


Lying in my room I think those nasty dark thoughts.

THOSE thoughts I think the ones that no one admits to in person.

Those THOUGHTS that it's okay that you're alone because no one will miss you.

Those thoughts HAVE told you you're weak.

Those thoughts absolutely NO good outcome for you in the end.

Those thoughts say that POWER is not in a pen.

Those thoughts make you cry OVER and over again.

Those thoughts can't control me or YOU. 

This is my life that I choose to live, writing down those thoughts on this paper.
