Journal

Insomniac's Journal

Words birthed in the internal

His subconscious' dunk-tank

These words remained unranked

Articulate the contemplations

Of these waking frustrations

Pen in hand

Sleep be damned

These are the greatest thoughts in the land

But why do they come at 4 in the morning

Must write them down

And heed the warning

His memory won't serve him as well when he wakes

If only he knew what was at stake

Words, Words, and more still left to come

Cannot stop till he sees the sun

Sunken eyes

Blood shot red

Sleep finally comes to the walking dead

Wayward Whisperings

I bridge the gap between second and third
The intrinsic value
Of a flightless bird
A hole within space
Infinite and abysmal
indescribably undefined
I grope for my soul

An imaginary man
With invisible footsteps
With no past and no future
I sit here on doorsteps
Doorsteps leading to doors
With no passage
Just doorknobs, hinges, brick walls
And static
I move with the grace and the pace
Of a man with no purpose
Devoid of objective
Amounting to worthless
I glide through the cacophony of life
With no one on my arm
This yellow brick road
Is tattered and worn
My eyes make no contact
My breath marks no air
my voice makes no sound
I withdraw to my lair
Where I simply exist
Although debatable that
Like mist in a cage
I choose to be trapped
