A night full of wishes
Illuminating kisses
As time ticks by in swishes
Softly lulling you to sleep

Stars ****** twinkle
Dreamsand slowly sprinkles
And gives a final winkle
Pulling you in deep

Until you're outside in
Not bound by your own skin
Now you can begin
To view what you steep

A piece of me is hiding
Deep inside residing
Over all that is unseen
In between routine
A murmur soft and guiding

Say what you mean
Mean what you say
Get to the point
It's the easiest way

Don't have me guess
Or try to construe
What you might want
For I'm me and not you

Don't be so quick to add a period

Don't worry, don't worry
It's all a ruse
Just trust in us
We've read all the clues

Don't worry, don't worry
Stay perfectly still
Here's some cold water
Now swallow this pill

Don't worry, don't worry
No need to speak
We promise we're making you
Strong and not weak

Yes! Yes! That's it!
Join the line
Marching on by
In metronomed time

Onward you go
Just like the rest
Left, left, right lefting
We know what's best

Don't worry, don't worry
It's time for the feast
A gluttonous meal
Prepared by the meek

A spark in the dark
Oh My God there it is!
I haven't seen these
since I was a kid
Little and luminous
and wondrously bright
Oh how I love
their yellow **** lights!

I love myself this second
but not the other nine
and if you ask me how I am
I'll simply respond with "fine"
Because we're told not to wear
emotions on our sleeves
**** it down and swallow it
do not cause unease
But I have learned and confirmed
this simply is not true
They're only words that you've heard
from those less brave than you
