I Wish I Coulda

Written By:  D. Collins 11/13/24



I wish I could wake up in the morning to peachy clean.
Where my nightmares have subsided to normal dreams.
When just going to work isn't a monumental task.
Twenty-four hours of breathing is all that I ask.
When the brain doesn't sleep, nor does the body.
I even keep writing while seated on the potty.
I wish I coulda have done something else.
But, God gave me this. And made it "Def".
So, I sit at the table scripting each one out.
Hoping I'm in favor when they are read aloud.
In the eyes of God, I appear to be okay.
I wish I coulda showed others t how to find their way.
