Thought

I was walking on the side of the road
When a peculiar thought came to my mind
Even though I would soon read my abode
No other thoughts filled my head I would find

I sat and I thought while eating my lunch
Then I thought some more while lying in bed
I was still unable to shake this hunch
it seemed this thought had infected my head

I stopped pondering and tried to forget
so that I could think about something else
I'd forget for hours then start to fret
that I'd never know how empty thoughts felt

I wonder if I'll lie awake at night
a nagging thought is worse than a bright light
