Insominia
I find a brief moment’s peace
inside these insomniatic day dreams.
With dry eyes,
…and a lethargic conscience;
I wander through this fable
that I’m told is reality.
Hindsight isn’t quite 20/20,
and I’m here
…squandering the
…relativity of time.
Reaping no benefit
as I toggle between mind numbing
exhaustion and over active
mental techathalon strides.
Blurred forms,
and silent cries.
I hold the end of this rope
with vagrant humility;
and merciless appraisal.
Am I to let go?
I can’t stay here;
Hanging between life
and dream
…forever.
I must decide.
I am to awaken.
