lots of thoughts

I got lots of thoughts
they've got my stomach
tied up in knots
I want to put them in a mailbox
and send them far, far away
I got lots of thoughts
but they don't thicken the plot
each one is a forget-me-not
that's here to stay

so I self medicate
and try to meditate
so I can appreciate
my mind
but it don't work for me
it's just a jerk to me
means lots of hurt for me
the emotional kind

I got lots of thoughts
but they can't give me what I want
it's like a case of chicken pox
without any cure
I got lots of thoughts
playing a game of
beat the clock
sometimes they come as a shock
lately I'm not so sure

so I take Klonopin
to quiet the voice within
then maybe I can begin
to rest
but thoughts come back to me
intrusively
maybe more therapy
would suit me the best

I got lots of thoughts
sometimes I think
that's all I've got
tying my stomach in knots
thoughts
think they're here to stay
thoughts
please go away
