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

ABUSED - ‘SAYING SOCIETY’

ABUSED - ‘SAYING SOCIETY’ So loud So loud she shouted Shouting for help Every other night She is shouting I can hear her now He is hitting her again She's been hit, beat and battered Wounded inside out Lost her glow Lost herself-worth Lost her confidence Lost her smile All for what the society would say
She is grinding She is grieving She is dying Because the society won't listen to her No one wants to hear her own side of the story No one cares how she feels She has been told to stay there and fight for her home She has been admonished to stay and pray some more She has been told everything will be alright But for how long For how long She has been caged by what the society says
This 'saying society'

THE INK

The ink The ink that flows  Flows through the mind to the fingers Penning down the thoughts it brings Penning down the imaginations it creates Penning down the pictures it paints It flows as the fingers stroke the pad It flows as it listens to self It flow when it shuts out clatters Penning things down to be viewed and considered
This ink has the greatest capacity This ink is efficient This ink is powerful It has the power to imagine anything and everything is possible The power to imagine that there are no limitations anywhere The power to imagine that ‘cannot’ is vague The power to imagine that ‘never’ is void

This ink likes to explore This ink likes to paint The capacity of this ink is still beyond comprehension Can go as long as it can be stretched Flows as long as it is in use Dries up the day it is no longer needed
