Sleep

I sleep easy
I brandish my metal most days
I think I do a pretty good job
I have no time to think about how you feel
I do what I need to do to get by
Sure...I may leave you feeling different
But that's temporary...right
Cho...get over it...but then again
why should I care?
I have things to do...
Yawn...time to go to bed
Tomorrow's another day.

Hey to you, Karena! This is triggering a guilt thingie with me...like, 'go to bed'! I did yawn when I read 'yawn':) Now I'm giddy. This sounds like a statement being made to one who's not going to be ticking on your mantle all night long. Well done..rings strong and clear. Wishing you and yours the best....God bless! Mikki
