we are

We are the dreams and thoughts that come to you when you do not want to think
We wonder at every dark moment and resurface it
We hear the song of the years of pain of tears
We see the sorrows of a nation and out way them with your own
We want you to be selfish
We are the thoughts of a idle mind
We pretend that stillness and thoughtlessness are relaxing
We feel the fear the pain and hand it back to you
We touch the surface of your brain with cold fingers and squeeze your heart until it pops
We worry you will stop us in our tracks and think on your own
We cry only when you’re not crying
We are the dreams and thoughts that come to you when you do not want to think
We understand nothing but the pane that we bring you
We say you’re the only one nobody else cares
We dream on lonely nights when the work is easy
We try to make you turn to us and blame the world
We hope you never realize the pain of thoughtlessness
We need the emptiness to strive
We are the thoughts of a idle mind

Beautifully written. I love the concept of "thoughts of an idle mind"...I'm a daydreamer, so I could fully relate to this poem :).
