Eyes closed, head resting on a pillow
Breathing in, breathing out.
I see the trees passing by
Oh! Am I in a bus, couldn't stop
listening to his opinions. So, he cares
all about people who matter
and those who make you better.
Gone in deep thoughts — my classmate and I.
I told someone about my irritation,
and someone other about my pride,
and someone else about my incompetence.
What was common in them, I wonder.
A tiny fraction of their own lives – they shared with me,
whereas I was pouring down my rain.
This memory tangles my brain.
I wanted her to come inside soon.
Rolled up in bed, waiting for my mother —
I need to sleep now.
Being all cute and lazy
I push myself off of the bed and on the floor
At least my sister came running through.
I wanted attention — maybe she knows.
All I am trying is to sleep — sweet and nice.
But, the mind wanders.
It goes around the memories
And taps into my subconscious.
I mind it. Don't do that.
Don't touch it, let it be.
So, I was watching a stand-up comedy
Then I saw myself drawing in sand
Here I come in a pillow case
Plucking the flowers,
praying to God
Changing my home.
Shall I go abroad?
Choosing the picture frames
Listening to radio
Dancing with fireflies
Wanted to do cardio
All I am trying is to sleep — calm and peaceful.
But, the mind wanders.
