A Clear Conscience
to be able to sleep at night
to be able to lay there staring up at the ceiling in the
dark &
having nothing stressing on the mind
certainly will extend nothing to the world of dreams
in the form of
nightmares---
one will have the best chance to rest
during the brief hours of which they can,
if they have a
clear conscience---
better to have it all out in the open &
to
minimalize the drama of life,
than to take it all in
secretly trying to hold the weight of the world on
your shoulders,
as if the world had any intent on
helping you in the morning
when you awake,
crushed by the tension, the anguish &
the duress
smashed down upon you
during your slumber.
