Morning Musings

Am I?

By K.B. Silver Published about a year ago • 1 min read

How long have I been lying here?

I’m not awake, am I?

I feel like last time I asked

I spat out a handful of teeth and woke up screaming

Is that an alarm going off?

I'm not already behind schedule, am I?

I constantly skitter around

Grabbing floored items as I run

Have I floated past this moment before?

I’m not living in circles, am I?

Keeping one eye on the floor of the past

One on my destination, the wide open future sky

Have mortal bonds relinquished their grip?

I’m not haunting the ruins of an unlived life, am I?

Swearing revenge is a risky business

It only impedes your own restless soul from gaining peace
