Ready To Rest

F U world!

I hate your guts.

Leaving you

is just a must.

I sleep to escape.

It doesn't work.

I twist and turn

A body jerk.

Wrestle with a blanket.

Wrestle with a thought.

My head, my chest,

my stomach is taut.

Take a pill.

Take some more.

Roll around the bed.

Pace about the floor.

What can I do?

When will it end?

Ready to say

goodbye my friend.

Sleepless Nights

Why does happiness last a moment
but misery lasts forever?
Why can't memories be enough
when nothing else remains?
No one understands,
most won't even try.
All I want is a shoulder
on which to rest my weary head.
Is that too much to ask?
Is that so hard to find?
Some will say they are there.
But only when convenient.
And some will swear to stay.
But not when it gets tough.
I may be headed for a breakdown
but I'll see it thru such as I can.
Who will be beside me?
How long will we last?
