Awake
4 am and still awake
Watching untold stories of the Er
Trying to fall asleep
Pitch black outside
All lights turned off
Not a peep to be heard
Silence in the house
Noise in my brain
Everything seems so loud
My body agitated and tired
Not sending signals to my head
All synapses are fired
Trapped in a whirlwind of chaos
Trying to calm the sound
Writing is my solace all around
Living without answers
Even I don’t understand
Frustrating to say the least
How can anyone else comprehend
Different than everyone I know
Embracing my eccentricity
One day someone will get me
Or at the very least accept me
As the words come out of my head
And the hopes of exhaustion set in
I shall try to close my eyes n sleep
And find the peace that lies within

Turning Pages of Life
Life’s like a book — some parts are good, others not so much. Still, keep turning the pages; you might find the best chapter next. If someone hurts you, choose to forgive or just let it be, but never change who you are for them.
