My Thoughts about Thieves
He walked in here like he owned the place,
Picked up my words . . . and read them.
He didn't care that they were private,
or unfinished.
Didn't he know that he was stealing . . .
from my mind?
I never said he could share . . . my thoughts.
Sometimes no one is allowed to share my words
They come from inside me
They are a part of me . . . my soul.
I don't need the frustrations,
Of fearing that he's in my head . . .
Stealing my thoughts.
They can't be replaced.
Someone stole my money once . . .
But I got some more.
