When my mind won’t keep still
I get lost in daydreams and nightmares
Of demons both real and imagined
The monkey mind off its leash
Causing chaos
The mind revisiting things best left alone
In the darkness of the past
But there I go, digging them up again, turning them ‘round
Thinking that this time, this time
I’ll figure them out and release them finally
Never to be haunted again
But they stay, lodged quite firmly, comfy in their home
In my head
And in my heart
