| Lulled to sleep by the possibility Of the dark questions Of knowledge and strength Maybe I am not meant for this The eyes and rejection can wait They can wait for another day When I am ready with a one two punch But today I'm taking a break Tomorrow comes with questions And questions always eventually Lead to answers and truth Capability is not the issue Proven self worth tugs at my heart A dark past that haunts me And yet my dark is lighter Way lighter than most And yet it weighs on my mind So many thoughts concealed And yet only half way Why is truth so easily concealed And why are answers so much Harder than questions I perhaps have found the light And so I sleep with thoughts tonight I wrap them in my arms And hope to smother them To silence their nagging proclamations Of self worth and doubt Tonight I lie in silence and peace Perhaps I wrap up in slumber And dream dreams of security And yet maybe I am cursed |
