At the church group yesterday,
they ripped their hearts out
let others examine it.
using SAT words,
but that’s old fashion
our weaknesses poured out
Lack of self-confidence
My mouth was glued by spit
But it was my turn to speak
Time for my performance
I sliced it into pieces,
and gave it to others.
My lack of trust in others
And the belief that everyone lies
melted just a bit
because being so closed up bores everyone in my life,
including me.
Sleep
like infinite scenes repeating
turning on the curve at the end of the mind
sketching unrealistic images
persuading me to do unrealistic things
Leaning besides the edge of dreaming
but not actually sleeping
Confusion strikes me like lightening
I am awake but my mind dreams
but I cannot look deep within
So I sit here
sleep deprived and confused
at the dawn pushing toward a new day
at the night that pulls me back
Night wraps around me
dark traps me in
a jail for thoughts
a bucket of scenes
all too real but too old
So now I just pray
for sleep to take me in
this new early morning
of the same thing repeating.
Let’s play monopoly
and steal each other’s money
Let’s play monopoly
and steal each other’s property
Look at a card for a chance
maybe you will get lucky
But who cares if you own the bank
because I am looking for a library.
I see your footsteps,
muddy and blurry
but your path is clear.
Please don’t hunt here
my dear.
Not in this territory
or this land
The best is in your hands
a pair of glasses will help
you focus and see
your goals are clear
but your target is wrong.
So please don’t hunt here
my dear.
