I Have This My Phoenix Says

My insight is tattered and torn
Nothing left to see here 
Except threads of my confidence

I am exhausted 
Having battled tigers, lions and bears
Oh my!

Emerald City is much harsher 
inside my mind 
than it ever was  in Kansas

I cannot think
Even my eyelids are exhausted
My inspiration is taking a nap in a foreign country

I’ve got this my phoenix assures me
Go to sleep baby.
I’ve got this.
