Intrusive Thoughts

Intrusive thoughts are bothersome at night when I’m in bed, prepared to go to sleep. My mind keeps racing, and it’s hard to fight those ear worms which into my brain may creep. I’ll hear the chorus of some new hit song unceasingly repeat, repeat, repeat, or maybe there’s a thing that I’ve done wrong - like something I’d said that day indiscreet. I’ll lie there thinking why I was so dumb. Then other thoughts kick in out of nowhere, persisting like the beats heard on a drum. It gets to be almost too much to bear. Enough! There’s one sure way these thoughts will scram. I down two capsules of Temazepam.
