riot

My mind is a city 
that never sleeps
And there are predatory 
thoughts that wander the streets
looking for vulnerabilities -
and there are too many to count -
They carry around 
a truckload of bricks
looking for good memories 
to break into and burn down
I know it takes a lot to
save me from myself
Sometimes I need you to
Come into my heart
as if you were riot police
to break up all the looting
and burning my mind
does when I begin 
to think too much
