Long Tossing and turning Poems

And dash outside
Grab your...

No one listens or cares anyway
Chanting and screaming in my head

Cradling my dreams

Tossing and turning

The words so eloquently hanging in space

Are consequently just as they were described

Words

Filled with fluff and not enough substance
I want to give you the world

Mine
