Destroying? Or Destroyed?
I live in the city of Minneapolis. Like most cities, there’s light pollution, car noises, and all the other things we associate with cities.

Conflicting
Conflicting feelings in my brain
In my heart
As I lay awake,
Not entirely sane.
Conflicting thoughts, all knotted up.
How do I untangle,
Fix what I've lost?
