OH SLEEP







Sleep
Oh sleep 
Rescue me
Rescue me from the hands of this enemy
This enemy wrecking me

Oh sleep 
Why are you suddenly a stranger
Why are you suddenly an alien to my eyes
Why watch me go through this horror every night
Why look at me as though our night contract is not binding

If only the darkness of the night would blur my thoughts
And whisper lullabies like to an infant who must sleep
Make me forget my problems
Make me forget my troubles
Make me forget my dilemmas

Oh sleep rescue me
Rescue me from the dangerous clutches of worry
The devouring teeth of anxiety
The dreadful  hands of fear
Before it destroys me

LENSES

I struggled for too long Being who I wasn’t Fitting  my circle into other people's 
perfect squares -- into all their
expectations for me Their perception was all that mattered What they will see and say Their standard for success and achievement
I showed up acting who I wasn’t Like a dancing monkey under obligations to perform magic To gain their recognition and affirmations for being who I wasn’t Against being Me
I broke the chains and gained freedom the day I stopped looking at myself through other people’s lenses because I discovered people wore lenses tinted and shaded to suit them not Me

WHO EXACTLY

Housed in a container Moved in it Identified by its aesthetics But sometimes lost in it Who exactly am I the container or the content
Sometimes I try so hard to figure exactly what it is about this combo Sometimes complicating other times compelling sometimes conflicting other times cooperating
Influenced by the countless conversations with  the inner and the  outer the seen and the unseen the known and the unknown Then I discover It goes beyond this container there is something about content
As adorned as this container maybe embellished with so much beauty the content remains the substance that give it credibility Beyond the container that interacts is the content that keeps the flow is the content that leaves  memorable impacts
