Sleepy


I am sleepy, not because my body is weak.

I am sleepy, not because my mind can't think.

I am sleepy because my soul has become weak.

I am sleepy because my heart has grown tierd.

I am sleepy because I have given myself to those
I thought had a mind to listen, a soul to lead while
their heart is the engine.

I am sleepy because im tierd of trying to  make peace.

I am sleepy, because I've tried with all my will for those to listen
and to no avail they have failed.

I am sleepy, because I have given them all of me and there is
no more.

I am sleepy, because there is no more for me.

So with these thoughts I tilt the neck and try for just one more sec.

Enough to write what I know, enough that maybe you might close the hole in your gapping soul.

And with these words I am left with the night alone and I am cold.

I wait with eyes closed, thoughts open.

I wait and I wait for eyes to open.

For mind to obsorb, for a heart to listen.

For I am close to setting my soul free, my mind silent, my heart still, my eyes shut.

So I can sleep.
