Missing serenity
I need to feel
Something other then tiredness and heat
Missing the peace from a nice long sleep
Or the true moment of silence through meditation
I’m sick of the pills that bring about sedation
Still marching on
Sometimes to a song
And then a breath
A heart beat away
I was seriously seeing things
For what they’d become.
I wasn’t sure if I was dumb
Meeting was fine
But then there was a glitch
Fury turned on
I’ve looked back since
They turned in a way that made me think.
It’s like they were playing battle ships and they wanted to see me sink
I wasn’t sure what game they started to play
But a game it was either way
