Let the water run

Shower on, thoughts turned to 11

Wild wild thoughts

How did I get here

So fresh so clean

We live in a society

We're past reading the shampoo label

We live in a society...

Do you ever get tired of your own thoughts ? I know I do. Especially the damn intrusive ones. Ever since I was a little kid, bleak thoughts would creep into my mind, distracting me from real life and preventing me from living in the present. Thoughts about death, thoughts about sickness, thoughts about the ails of the world. The older I get, the darker and more uninviting the world seems.
