I AM RESTLESS
People ask, do you sleep at all?
I could ask them the same.
Unfortunately, I don’t meddle in people’s affairs.
Thus personal, you can call it private.
But I’d make it known.
I’m RESTLESS, the reason I don’t sleep.
And they ask why?
As if that answer wasn’t enough,
Then ask me, if I ever told them, would they believe me?
A gentle whisper says, “TRY ME”.
Then said I, I can’t though I might say, now isn’t the time.
I can’t afford to lose focus yet.
I am scared of being pitied and misjudged,
Thus, rule my thoughts.
People always trying to enter the thoughts of man.
[Sigh…] Let it out ….
A lot has been going on lately,
The fear of not being successful, the fear of losing loved ones, losing my sanity,
And the threat to my peace and safety.
I want to make the world a better place.
Then ask I how?
Knowing we aren’t a-like thought-wise, our reasoning is diverse.
The worries of life make me restless.
I don’t sleep because I AM RESTLESS.
