My mind clear as daylight pours through the small window in my bedroom
I am free to think
Or not
But as soon as darkness defeats the light
And the only light shining on the earth is the moon
Words slip into my mind
Thoughts rush into my brain
And as I close my eyes
My brain floods with waves of
"What if" and "I wonder"
Faces fill my mind
Smiling, crying, laughing
I beg for the thoughts to leave as I open my tired eyes
As I eventually fall asleep
And as they slow down
They fill my dreams
And as my eyes flash open
To the harsh light
They disappear once again
