Wet Pillow
My eyes close to go to sleep
I see demons and angels
Lost in darkness not knowing what to do or say
Visions of my blood drifting away
Knowing that it is fiction, but might be a factor in the real world
Trying to find out the answer to the question, but confused from the darkness
I ask my father, “what are you trying to say”
Wondering if it’s me “no not right now” I ask myself
Hoping it’s not my blood that is drifting and soon to be gone
Vision goes in and out
Trying to stop, but can’t
Wondering what’s going to happen
Sometimes feeling something or someone over my head ready to make its move
Humbling myself to the Father asking for guidance
Trying to do what is right
Don’t know who to go to.....here
Patience is the key, of which I have so little
Sometimes I can feel myself drifting away from the right
And being drawn to the wrong
It’s a battle trying to do what is right
So easy doing wrong
My soul talks to me. Sometimes it’s yelling
Making me feel like my head is going to burst
Something is working inside of me
I have to make a decision
What road am I going to take
All of this is going on while I sleep
I feel I’m losing or going to lose something very precious
I wonder where I’m going when the Earth stops spinning
Only the Father knows
As time goes on I know where my strength lies
In the hands of my Father and my blood
That’s my coal keeping me moving on the right path
But as I sleep it still comes
And I still lay on a wet pillow.......
