A Lyric Almost A Dinosaur.
In antiquated times, when soil was youthful,
And legends of the past were sung,
A animal meandered the primal shore,
The powerful, fearsome dinosaur.
Underneath the canopy of green,
In wildernesses tremendous, it might be seen,
With scales that flickered within the sun,
A monster born when time started.
Its strides shook the timberland floor,
A sound that reverberated, antiquated legend.
With teeth that shined like honed stone,
It chased lands it called its possess.
From waterways profound to mountains tall,
It ruled underneath the old sky.
A imperial of a bygone age,
Its story penned on nature's page.
Presently fossils lie in noiseless sand,
A antique of that compelling arrive.
In rocks and bones, we discover the key,
To universes that we not see.
However in our dreams, it lives once more,
The incredible, magnificent dinosaur.
A image of what once had been,
A immortal story of might and scene.

Writing on meds
As I am writing this, I chugged a good amount of sleeping pills. Not to kill myself of course but to calm myself down before I go to bed, to stop the nightmares that I normally have. They work too well must admit, I can't feel a thing. 20 minutes have already passed. I'm in my bed now. I hear the wind blowing, and my dog scratching the doors. He wants to lie down next to me. I can't get up, I can't force myself to go to him. I feel peace. I feel emptiness. The type of empty heart that other people have. I have now a normal heart, the one that feels nothing in times like this, in times of being alone in bed. Alone and bed. Bed and alone. Dog scratching doors, wind blowing.
