Another sleepless night
Wondering about the world
Unsure if I like myself
As evil thoughts twirled
Worries for the day,
Some, not even mine
Others of the night,
From a land before time
Replaying conversations
Worrying about what was said
All of these contribute
To the storm in my head
Then one thought emerges,
A victor, of sorts
Soon the tempest calms
As I teleport
Into the land of dreams
So strange and unreal
Where I’m given a chance
To know how I feel
The caution is there,
In technicolor dreams
Reminding me to take a step back,
Or rip at the seams
When I awake
After less than adequate sleep
I try to remember
The wisdom to keep
