Thoughts are like the wind,

They can be gentle and kind,

Or they can roar up and overwhelm you

With the ferocity of an angry bear.

Lest we think we are alone,

The myriad of afflected people

Is so overwhelming, it is beyond belief

How the human mind can control so many.

Yet we let the seed grow and control us,

So that we cannot escape its grasp.

We have to understand our behavior,

And seek the root of this affliction.
