Black and white dreams


Sometimes I dream in black and white 
where everything has to be one or the other.

Sometimes I dream of sun and moon,
painting the sky with their light and darkness,
where one must be awake or asleep.

Sometimes I dream of angels and demons,
singing tears and speaking silence,
where no one is safe.

Sometimes I dream of helium and gravity,
each word either rising or falling ,
where no one stands still.

Sometimes I dream of love and hate,
lies sweetened with silver lining,
where one must never make a mistake.

Sometimes I dream of pencil and paper, 
voices spinning into images,
where one can never go wrong.

Sometimes I dream in black and white
where no one is who they seem.

  • How can I write


    What do I write about
    when 
    people are dying
    people are mistreated
    people are misguided
    people are screaming
    people are crying
    people are morning
    people are shouting
    people are angry

    I say "people"

    Our world is on repeat
    until everything is better

    Our lives are going to be the same
    until everything is better

    The same frequency over and over again
    lulling us to sleep.

    Endless nightshifts and worries
