Random Thoughts Try To Conquer Me
Random thoughts are traveling through
I do not grasp them
Not that they are not mine
But because I doubt I will be here long enough to use them
Random feelings are trying to conquer me
I don’t even care
I am not in this body.
Not the real me. The real me has already left the building.
Someone is calling for me.
I shut my eyes, enjoying my earth coffin.
Pretending to sleep, as random thoughts clutch at me.
Demanding that I open my eyes.
I am not caring because my soul self is asleep
As random thoughts and feelings crawl over our face,
recreating the caul we were born in, so we can
Hide from the ones who want to know us.
Saving the bits we need to just think.
Born in a caul, perpetually striving to get back.
