Stroke of Midnight Past

I'm awake
and I'm bored
been thinking…
Round in circles

How I can't shut 
Down the hill is a giant 
Lesson learned, but I
Do not think I'm ready

Awake and tired
Silly deep in thought
Less changes nothing
Of how tomorrow will be

Sleepy, mixed up thinking
Running away from
It all, hiding from the truth
That I'm not sure I even know

Alone, with my thoughts
Dangerous blades
Of grass full of dew
And with purpose

The right things are not 
Meant to hurt like
Terrible accusations
Of meaningless lies

Good intentions are
Wrong ways to deny
The facts of life's
Blissfull moments

Here I sit with my fingers
Tapping on the keyboard
The light of my Mac
Keeping me company

This makes no money
Brings no one close
Six closed-minded rumors
Occupying soulless vessels

Why do I care
About what I can
Not change
The world we live in

I shudder to think straight
With only two ears, and
A voice combined with 
Breath makes words

Is anyone around
Here saner than I
Am refusing to complain
Here it is confusing

With words that do not have
Rhyme or reason
Just mixed up lines
Written at my command

*Wink*

Sanity is a relative term for individuals to make up their own minds. Feel your frustration Frankii, enjoyed the read. Regards, Craig

Thank you! Sanity def. not here lately...struggling to find it through the fog...light brought me to a door, then dumped me into a lake...I'm floating now, but...looking for a boat to get through the fog.
