Another night with a restless mind
And as a result a restless body
The search for peace continues on and on and on
Without aim, direction, or success
I grow tired and more tired of my soul trek as each day passes
What? Where? When will be my sweet relief?
The splinter in my mind seems irremovable
my local anaesthetic is sweet surrender to a cracked pint glass
and yet relief is always half empty.
a half more full than my heart however
a shell of what it once was, and sadly i’ve let it empty of its precious love of life
The sun breaks the horizon as i smoke my cigarette
Desperately trying to inhale inspiration.
Gasping for air. For buoyancy. No such luck.
Its a new day, but it feels the same. Don’t they all?
I’m getting tired now. Time to retreat into my cellar, for the freaks come out at night
Besides i’m annoyed by the chirping birds.
I wish i knew why the caged bird sings.
