thoughts

when the world gets quieter
and you're alone with your thoughts
inner emotions suddenly surface.

emotions that seem real enough to grab;
real enough that you feel almost certain that if you really wanted to,
you could remove them altogether.

but at the same time
you have no control when they will surface,
when they will grab you,
when they will consume you altogether.

and when they do consume you,
its hard to ever really think about anything else.
