John 3:16<br /> For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son so whoever believes in hill will not die but have eternal life.<br /> <br /> Dreams are what make us who we are, a life without dreams is like a life without air.

I am thinking.
But is it truly I
whose thoughts rattle,
race,
running towards the finish.
They will get there before me.
Truthfully,
my mind may contain
only but the ideas
of this world.
All but to be released,
with no label
lost.
Who owns you?
Where are you truly from
oh, thoughts
Is imagination a myth?
Dreaming a lie?
Is any mans thoughts truly his own?
I am thinking.
But, am I thinking?

This is a poem I wrote when I was wondering what the person sitting next to me was thinking. I knew she would never guess what I was thinking about...(poetry). Out of these thoughts, bloomed a poem.
