Keep it high and keep...

Blessed sleep, come and my cognizance quell.
I shall lie and await.
I shall quietly hate.
These moments before the slumber, I detest.

Live up to your highest potential
Live for the future

blankets and pillows grow
I find myself thinking of you...

Let your dreams be seen

With so much on my mind
As I consumed the New York Times today
While others read it

These emotions that are...
