Restless Sleeper

Some days, I am a dreamer of the future. I tend to imagine myself treading paths I've always dreamed of taking. At night, before I sleep I try to Envision myself in a court defending A client with all my might and knowledge Mondays, I am an attorney. Tuesdays, I step on stage and hold a Microphone as I stand before the eyes of Thousands of international public speakers. Wednesdays, I am an artist. I like to think I have this magic within me Where I'm capable of making a whale Fly freely up above the sky or the Power to make eyes talk and be alive Thursdays, I am a poet enchantress Full of metaphors and languages One wouldn't learn immediately. Fridays, I am a creative writer My fingers tremble as I release the Monsters in my head and alter reality On weekends, I am a broadcaster, a hunter Of news and caster of truths with my voice Heard and listened everywhere you go But most of the time, I am just a girl With an ambitious soul living inside this Lackadaisical body and I keep walking on A treadmill facing a single direction making Efforts with seen and heard footsteps But no signs of movements forward. I am stuck in a labyrinth of self-doubts and Insecurities with a lack of energy to climb its Walls and try to see what's out there I am in a continuous cycle of hallucinations My mind wanders to different dreams and paths But my body is in a frozen state of carelessness. I am a stagnant river, calm and still When I'm supposed to be flowing endlessly.
