the thinking/feeling battles, so
I’m trying to shut one off, you know?
But years of practice with my brain,
protect me from the burn of pain.
And I feel next to nothing now,
can’t get it back – I don’t know how.
Turn thinking off! Yeah, that’s the trick,
then neither thoughts nor feelings stick.
The vicious circle carries on
Must think to make the thinking gone
I’ll carry on – it means that much
I’ve friends to make and keep…. and such.
