Patterns are common,
Some are better at seeing,
Them when they appear.
Life is often a game of connect the dots

Here lately the Sandman mocks me
with his calls to sleep that are nothing more than brutal sarcasm
To report to my bed at night
is the highest level of futility
Even the sheep are laughing
I’m here all week
It's a mindset,
Nothing easy to accomplish,
Life loves to kick you down.

But even though the moon said he looked silly,
The sun,
Came up again.

I think it's safe to say
that right now I'm doing okay
I don't feel sad
I'm not even mad
I'm not yet happy
but then again, I don't think I ever will be
I just think that right now I can truly say
I'm just doing okay.

Drowning in a sea of thoughts
Trying to find the life raft,
I wish to stay afloat in the now,
But I forgot how.
Sometimes it feels like these intrusive negative thoughts/feelings are like a sea swallowing me.
Trouble is a bird
That flies into your lives
It makes a nest
Out of glass and knives

It cuts you up
And digs in deep
Thier talons keep you up
As you try to sleep

It whispers lies
From it's crooked beak
And circles your thoughts
Won't let you speak

But just like a bird
It will soon fly free
All troubles will leave
If you wait patiently
I wish I could show you,
The sparkle in your eyes.
The same one you're afraid
people won't regard.
as they close their eyes in the rare moments
when you show it just a little
But I wish I could tell you,
it's not because they despise it
but the sparkle in your eyes!?
Its Blindingly Bright
