Head talk, Head talk, please just go away
You come in uninvited and chat to me all day.
Sometimes I want to listen, but other times I don't
But you just take no notice, ignore you know I won't.

You keep your idle chatter up, distracting I do find
You even interrupt my sleep with thoughts that come to mind.
Your never ending conversation can become a bore,
But if I stop to have a pause, you always just want more.

There are the times I listen to a wise word you may speak,
The good advice I'm searching for, from you at times I seek.
And then I'll smile and think of you with fondness this one time,
Cause I can then rely on you, be glad that you are mine.

But when you get too busy and rush around my head,
My temper flares and starts to rise, ignore what you have said.
I know I'll never stop this talk, at times it's almost quiet
But then some days I wonder if, you've started up a riot.

My thoughts can get real scrambled, no sense at times they make
Confusion reigns then in my mind, just what words can I take.
So sorting out the good from bad, it then becomes my quest
To find out what you're really like and put you to the test.

Ha Ha you say, the game is on as if you haven't heard
I'll challenge you, and then we'll see, who will have the last word.
I know I shouldn't fight with you, my friend you'll always be
Cause I can never get away, because you're really me.

I wonder if some others have, a mind that's never still
That chats away all day long, their brain with Head Talk fill.
Perhaps I'm really not alone, there might be others too
That I can ask for some advice, to tell me what to do.

I've heard that meditation, can calm a busy mind
If practiced daily benefits, of stillness I will find.
But time is of the essence, I always run the clock
"Slow down" you say, I know I must, these thoughts will try to block.

And so I'll always have a chat, it's just a fact of life
But sometimes when you overtake is when you'll get in strife.
Then I will say just stop a while, give me a little time
And thank the Lord you've found a word, to end this little rhyme.
