if i might take a walk,
inside my nightmare, a sad dream
the sort that keeps me
awake,
the fear of what’s inside
my mind
always tossing grief
my way.
I wonder if it is always
like that when we need to face our
own odd perception.
That normalcy we want from everyone
around our lives,
the peace we seem to feign,
well it’s all pretty ugly I’d have to say
enough
makes me want to sleep away the day.
I’m awake.
