Sleep

I want to sleep; 

I want to sleep with the thought of peace in my mind. 

Instead of the thoughts always running through my mind, 

Instead of worry I yearn for wonder. 

 

I want to sleep with the thought of curiosity; 

Like the days of the past years, 

Years I can’t go back for but I dream of when I sleep. 

 

My dreams consist of what I wish my life was. 

 

I want to go to sleep; 

But I wish to sleep forever, 

Because when I sleep I dream, and when I dream;

I finally get to live.

  • The dog at the end

    There’s a dog that sits on the end of my street—

    he barks at anyone that nears,

    snarling teeth that glow shiny in the afternoon light.

  • I am not

    I am not a poet 
    I don’t know how to use my words the way they can
    I can’t captivate the minds of my friends by stringing them along with the simplest of words 

    I am not a musician
