Take Sleep

I cannot add to your precious words now
Honestly I really don't know quite how
Just to make it through another day
That may just make problems go away
Oh now lets admit it already shall we?
It's not too scary to just look at the valley
Life isn't perfect but damn I want it bad
I can't even see all this here that I have
Sweaty tingles come from all your words
And a sweet November I haven't learned
Again I feel rotten sick to my stomach
The night will move on and I plummet
Farther on down, fill in the bulge
Run all around, now overindulge
Pick up the empty, throw it away
Pray for this day, oh pray it stays
Oh God what is wrong with me here?
Why all the tears and every little fear?
It eats up the sleep and carries afar
My will to move forward it's so hard
Words speak and actions remain stagnant
Live a new day with pieces and fragment
What's the whole point and what to do?
This whole trip gone so far yet so few
Oh could you know what is wrong now?
Oh could you know how to figure it out?
This is the reason why I take no plight
Why the days are long and I can't write
Farther on down, fill in the bulge
Run all around, now overindulge
Pick up the empty, throw it away
Pray for this day, oh pray it stays
Tomorrow will be a great brand new day
It almost seems nothing without any way
No way to move about nor what to see
But then I forget these things about me
Everything falls into place like the sand
The air is so clear so forget all the bland
You understand this thing here I hope
Will eat me again in the night as I grope
To find will of way across any good plan
To be more than now and greater than
More than this time here of nothing
But what to do? What little something?
Farther on down, fill in the bulge
Run all around, now overindulge
Pick up the empty, throw it away
Pray for this day, oh pray it stays
Reap all benefits, no room to doubt
Play the go getter, just take the route
Do as you need, it's all that I won't
I know I should, I want but I don't
No good answer, I've seen it before
And now I sleep, hope for much more
The morning calls, to fall in a heap
Muse for a bit, and try to take sleep
***
I don't know, yet I know it all. Call this a crossroads for me; where all I do seems meaningless, where I'm trying to pick and choose and gain value, where rest is the hardest thing to obtain. Because as I finish this write I will turn off the lights, freshen up, and lay in bed wondering... if I can take sleep.

Plus an extra 5 stars. This has really stirred me Danny and as I've told you before I relate to the theme of this. You seem to have reached another level of maturity in your writing ...I'm truly impressed.
Love to you and Rosi
