When Thought is My Authority

When thought is my authority
Desire is my curse
And up from the bowels of Hell
Comes Fear to make things even worse

When thought is my authority
I’m crippled and deranged
Feelings are the death of me
From them I am estranged

Feelings are the death of me
When thought fails to deny it
By stepping down to honesty
And being mostly quiet
