I was struggling on my bed yester-night
I was struggling to catch my train to sleep
Trying to make my way through the crowds of reality
I was tired, I felt weak but couldn't still sleep
I had already missed twice, the train
I had reached the station but
I couldn't close my eyes
my ticket to dream was invalid without that
i couldn't board my train to sleep
What is happening!
check check check check
I checked everything
Bed .... check
Cushion .... check
Pillow .... check
blanket .... ummm
too hot
kick away blanket ... check
mosquio net.... check
Anything else????? Check
lights off.. loadshedding... check
I asked with gatekeeper of dreams
What now? Let me pass
"you miss her"
"text her" easily said the train master
and the gatekeeper of dreams
"Come on..." i resisted
I turned right
I turned left
Turning and turning
Trying to search a loophole to train
I kicked my legs to the cieiling
left one adn imagined of bruce lee
then i cycled both legs
i cursed my day, the boring day it was
with no work to do and no interest as well
I thought about drinking... to numb my restlessness
May be I could do some smoking... to **** my distress
it was already 1AM of the morning
but all i did you just turn sideways
Train master grinned "No Ways"
My eyes were red and bulging
My heart was on fire and burning
My mind wandered from everything to nothing
I was suffocating
I was gasping
panting and
tearing my senses apart
just trying to hack the way to train
but the gatekeep of dreams was not ready to open the chain
I.......gave up
grabbed ny Nokia 3110 classic model
I.............
texted her
i texted her"i am scared to talk with you"
she replied"I am afraid of your poems"
I said"I don't know what to say"
The gate opened, the chain fell down
I boarded for my train to sleep
I was happy
I texted her
She replied
I could breathe again
I was smiling when I woke up
