RUNNING AMOK






RUNNING AMOK





Sometimes our mind will have its wicked way
It will go where we don`t want it to stray,
It sometimes feels like a battle of wills
Digging up things that wounds and kills.



There is no protection against our mind
And we are afraid of what it may find,
It runs riot at times and will not be stilled
Leaving us walls we have to rebuild.



If only there was a way to make it stop
`Til then torment and heartache are non-stop,
It runs riot and causes so much pain
At times it drives us almost insane.



Even when we`re sleep it knows no rest
With certain thoughts it seems obsessed,
It plays them over and over again
Just to make sure we can feel the pain.



At times our mind is no friend at all
Any good thoughts it just won`t recall,
It dwells on the things that make us sad
All these thoughts just make us feel bad.
