Sometimes the thoughts

Can't be stopped, they

Overtake everything,

And no amount of

Applying distraction

Methods will work.

Even more true when

Those thoughts spur

On body memories

That make you relive

The sensations of past

Acts; prompt a repeat.

That makes you obsess to

Achieve that result again,

Like you need to do this,

You must be doing this.

It's all you can imagine,

It doesn't leave you alone.

After a while, it can well

Drive you crazy and weak,

If not completely desperate

For it to come to a stop.

That's when things can get

Dangerous, out of control,

Not for others, but yourself.

You know too well how

All of this works out now,

So you have to be careful,

And keep in mind that this is

Temporary, it's not really you.

You will get through this.
