i lie in bed looking at my ceiling wishing it more closely resembled the stars.
hating today, i wish for tomorrow
preserve this memory.
my insides quake and burn like sulfur.
thoughts cut through me
dreams of no one prevail.
just like something unspoken, unheard
i had no more words
only worries, live in my casings.
no concepts allude me, only this.
this battle is over
what war has been won?
it has broken my courage
shattered my strength.
a good fight
brought about a swift end
the time has come,
the walrus said.
my favorite book.
