Insomniac Headlights

Tell me I'm not this. The blue began to flood

inside a room once painted black. Tell me I don't

see this. The orb of morning peering its start right to

my eyelids that can't even close. Tell me I don't hear

this. Birds chirping for sunrise, playing lightly as my

lullaby. Tell me I'm dreaming. My leg still twitches,

seven in the morning, because I'm afraid I'll lose myself

before dawn. Shedding emotion in fast waves of flight,

tell me I didn't run through time, making stars out

of daylight. Orange in the sky, and not from shy

headlights in insomniac cars. Yellow, making its fellow

opening for my uncomforted sleep, not a nightlight like before,

no. Tell me I'm not this.
