i’ll go to bed at some point.
i’ll fall asleep with the lights still on
and drift away thinking of
the place i can feel like i finally belong.
but in the meantime
and well before that happens,
i’ll flip from side to side
with my baggy eyes wide.
i’ll keep those thoughts
running laps in my brain
and wonder if i’ll ever get to know
these feelings by name.
