Foggy mind

Foggy mind:

My mind’s so tired I can’t hear over the roaring in my head  Too many thoughts compete for my attention And I don’t know where to start I heard you have to forget In order to make room There’s a backlog in my head

With retorts I should have said Continued conversations to be had I’m going to be late again I don’t want to see this person Can’t I just stay here? I want to go home What homework do I have? I’m so tired I need a break I’ve got to feed the birds Should I check my email? I do not want to wait in the cold again I can’t wait to do this art project

Why do I still miss him?

My dreams feel so realistic I’d rather stay there Flying on fairy wings Having freedom to go A green eyed stranger beckons to me People with colorful spiked hair Walking amongst large seahorses And rubber duckies A princess closet Being at home

A man prowls firelit halls I can always see his face He smiles but I wake alone It’s hard to separate the two some days No amount of sleep can help me recharge I feel sluggish either way.

-Riley Quinn Farmery
