As broad as the ocean,
My brain filled with emotion,
Of what I feel,
Fiction and real.
My imagination wild,
Not quite like a child,
But with some bits and pieces,
My thinking never ceases.

As loose,
As a freely running goose,
Full speed through the meadow,
My thoughts just flow.
All over the place,
Even outer space,
But I try to keep them contained.
But the Lion is hard to tame.

I crack the whip,
I bite my lip,
Forcing them to stay,
I just pray,
I won't make a peep,
While i'm dreaming in my sleep.

Like the speed of light,
They all take flight,
Like a bird,
Have you heard,
Them sing,
Their piercing voices sting.
You won't ever know what's inside.
By my thoughts I abide.
They say keep me locked up so no one hears,
So I did for all these years.

Locked the door and threw out the key,
So many secrets all they know is me.
Never tell a soul,
That was the goal,
Take my fantasy dreams to the grave,
Always in my brain to save.

Locked up in my mind,
A box no one can find,
What I really think,
Some I throw together on paper with ink.
But most are away,
Never will I say.
All this stuff in my brain,
Will die one day with me in vein.
