       Thoughts 
      Thoughts are like 
        guests, 
        They knock on your door 
        Saying "Can we come in 
        - We've been here before? 
      Check their credentials 
        Because you should really know  
        That if they come in 
        They won't ruin the show! 
      Remember the time  
        Guilt, anger and shame  
        Decided they owned you?  
        No, please - Never again! 
      If they sneak in unattended 
        Don't give them a glance  
        - They thrive on attention,  
        So deprive them that chance.  
      Welcome in good thoughts 
        Of love, joy and grace 
        But don't attach to them either 
        Just be empty space.
