I WILL use you

I tried my best to beat my thoughts.

But they came raging back.

I tried my best to cage my thoughts.

But they broke through the bars.

I tried my best to strangle my thoughts.

They gave me false hope.

I tried my best to erase my thoughts.

They kept feeding me words.

I tried my best to reason with my thoughts.

Leave me alone and I’ll leave you alone.

I tried my best to bury my thoughts.

They continually dug out.

I tried screaming at my thoughts.

They took the abuse in stride.

What harm are we?

They asked.

We fill you with words.

Isn’t that a good thing?

Don’t erase us.

Use us.

Let us fuel you.

Burn us.

Dream about us.

Use us.

Let us live.

For this season, you need us.

Use us.

Dare to dream.

I will use you.

I will stop fighting you.

I will let you flow freely.

I will use you.
