Another Sunday Morning

Just another Sunday morning, reflecting on my regrets, where did I go wrong? My bedroom inside my head, is this how I’ve made my bed?

Should I blame others instead? Now carefully I tread, emotions hold but by a thread, yet the feeling that I get when I reflect is one of dread, fight or flight, which one is right? For when I fought I should have fled, maybe I would not have bled, for when I tried to lift my fists they felt heavy as though made of lead,

So where now do I turn? What bridges do I burn? How do I discern what to forget and what to learn? My emotions left to churn, I linger yet I yearn, this contradiction an affliction, are these the feelings that I earn? I’m on my knees, I beg and plead for all this to adjourn.

I dream of sleep

I wish that I could sleep tonight, I wish my mind would let me, I wish that I could find some peace, and my problems would all forget me

I wish I feared the demons cheers and the monster beneath the bed, for in that case I could tell myself ”it’s all just in your head”

So why can’t I just close my eyes and travel the land of dreams, the nightmare is too real to me and I can’t wake up it seems
