Thoughts are often injuries
To our senses
Catching odd ideas
On that ferris wheel of cognition
Latching on to something
Because it is relevant
Or strictly a shiny objects.
Cognitive and Behavioral
How could therapists really believe
That thoughts effect behavior
While behavior waits
Dormantly incensed
Can the mind know the truth
Or does it simply translate
From the perceptions we’ve been given
Or can it accept
Pure love from the heart
When the impulses
And the dark memories
Get aroused in the trauma brain
Can we discern
The past from what yet has not occurred
Our preoccupations
With interpretation
Rather than simply enjoying
Was created at the beginning
So our primitive mind could survive
And one day evolve to
the balance of thought and function.
