Good night for now

The door jammed fast,
hall too bright.. 
too awake for proper  
rest.

Fulfilled with teaching, 
and being taught..
maybe
it's all for the best.   

So I'll say my goodnight 
this time dream deep,
think I've earned a sleep,

finally get some rest.

Iconoclast, tell me friend  
is it easier.. 
with 
sex, 
    and drugs,
              and rock n roll?

What if I tell you, life's easier 
without?
Oh, okay maybe just a little
(rock n roll). 

I just might ask, are you happy?
and is it something you search for,
every day, every moment
rather than wait on it..
to come..

every day, every moment.

Maybe one day soon
you too will learn-
                 what's in it for you 
                 in this life you fight..
your will is your birth
right.

The moment of truth draws near
you see.. life
got the best of me., 
and so I bid you goodnight.
