STOLEN THOUGHTS

As the feelings pour out of me
I only hope one thing
I need to keep on writing
And can't give it all away

What would be left for myself
If I wrote my thoughts all day
I have to clear my mind of these
Although they never go away

Simple thoughts from a simple mind
They grow as they're released
I don't know where I started
And I know I'll never end

My voice has been taken away
So it has to be written
Shared, given up
So that anyone can see
For then my thoughts are free

Unload them into other's minds
As they take in the words
No longer mine
But now their thoughts
My hand took thoughts away from me
And gave them to the world
Stolen
