A State of Mind

I often wonder, I have these thoughts

of what you or they must be thinking?

When this happens, I reconsider that

What I am thinking may not be what

you have in mind at all.

My thoughts of you are my thoughts,

and so often I am wrong. Why are you

angry or upset with me? I can say or

do some foolish things.

I’m frustrated with myself and so then

I figure you must be too. I am not a

clairvoyant or mind reader, though

all too often I imagine that I am.

So, if I should ask you if your thoughts

of me aggravate, whether you choose

to explain or simply turn and walk the

other way, I will certainly understand.

Should you tell me it’s not I but you,

then I am satisfied that you may have

the same problem as I do.

Punch me in the face or curse vocifer-

ously at me and prove me right. I

figured I was anyway. At least I thought

I was.

For you and me at least I find, it’s all a

state of mind.
