I Refuse To Move

My bed calls to me

I Refuse To Move

Here I lay,

In an old home

That was once mine

But boy have I moved

Too many times

To ever call one place home.

I return

To rest my head

On a familiar bed

One that gave me respite

In many hard days before.

Ever since I got here,

Almost 6 hours ago

I've only moved out of necessity

I've rested

I've aimlessly scrolled social media

I've planned my things to do

I've even read so many lovely poems

But I've not moved from the bed

And will not

Unless I absolutely have to

Because here I am

Getting exactly what I need

Rest. Relaxation.

Recovery

From my exhausted times

Exhausted body

Exhausted mind.

Goodnight.
