Longing for sunshine
Wishing rain would cease
Hoping that love comes
Striving for peace
My dreams dance merely within my mind
They have never been the daring kind
But perhaps the problem starts with me
My failure to try to set them free
Maybe these things can still be real
Supposing someone finds the strength to feel
The strength to feel sunshine
The strength to ignore the rain
The strengt...
Crap.
My meds have maxed.
Still feeling pretty fucking bad.
Second medication too.
What to do?
Distract.
Distraction,
Book that’s new.
Distract,
From the hollow left beforehand.
Distract,
From the fear that’s new.
Distract,
From the fear that’s prehistoric too.
New distraction,
How ‘bout you?
Done.
We’ve made the deal.
Don’t be hurt by what’s not real.
Don’t take my choices personally.
That will...
Darkness haunts my foolish heart
Not love scarred but pain to my part
Taking from my health
For top marks balanced with friends
Sitting with this darkness that my heart just seems to tend
Tired
So tired
Just tired
She’s just tired
Constantly fried that’s how she feels, she’s just—
Perpetually expired
She’s just tired
She’s just tired
Body broken
Heart rewired
She’s surviving
Barely now
The candle ...
Whistling in the trees I hear the wind
Crashing on the shore I hear the waves
This is nature’s music
Next-door neighbor’s playing music
The bright sound travels on the wind
Deep drumbeats come in waves
Blasting different sound waves
The loudspeaker plays its music
The sound swept away by wind
Different waves
Different wind
Different music
These are the sounds of life...
