When all the colors are

surrounding me in my bed

Life wasn’t meant for sorrow

But why do I feel so black and blue,

Why is it all in my head?

The bright lamp is my ego

The floor my soul

Give me a reason to why

I need my shoes on the other side

The ceiling is leaking once again

With the storm overdue to subside

Give me a reason why

I need to climb mountains

And swim with the sharks

Or to change who I am?

Do I need to jump off cliffs to feel alive

or dive in the sky for my vision

to see the brightness of a lamp like this

At 3:48

To be in multiple places at once

To feel as if I’ve stepped on

every grass of each field,

Just for the flowers to feel my presence.

My emotions are my seasons

My mind the storm overdue to subside

If time will pass me by

Where is the love of my life?

I’ve been patient enough

To the point that

I consider swimming with the sharks!

My imagination a tower

My fears the dragons,

Are dreams just a figment of my tower?

The reason will always come

At the aftermath of things, I suppose.

Surely you wont have a conclusion

Till after the experiment

And you and I, the subjects:

We wait for that aftermath.

I long for the wake

At the end of a long slumber

“Time can only tell”,

I say to myself.

Confusion in the darkness

with 3 cups of sigh

I breathe in and out

From the aftermath of my caffeine kick.

My mind is still swimming

“in my own sharks”, I suppose.

And for I, the subject

can only share this point in time

with this bright lamp at 3:48
