Night All Along

Easy to see mourning on my face 

S’where lies the pill that I didn’t take 

It’s just life 

But it’s been a long dark day

Am I asleep, or has it been night all along the way?

Rewind 

Pause 

Ruminate huhhhh, 

wish a wish could

Fix that

Fast forward 

Imagination 

Dream anew 

Fantasy 

The month just ended 

Rrrrreality check 

Cash that

Wake up,

To an eternal darkness 

Bliss 

Luck-luster 

Optimistic pessimism

Beauty! Beauty!!

Don’t fall in love with this beautiful night 

This too shall pass. 

Back to the past tense 

Stale air 

Still here.

Motivated 

The lies that we tell ourselves are adorable 

Even mosquitoes can roar roar roar. 

Here now is my present 

Well wrapped. 

Bagged up 

Heading to the cliff 

fall or fly. 

It’s so loud in here

Breathe 

The sky is stretching to touch my feet

Sun wishes similitude, synonym, simile 

or a metaphor 

But alliteration, homophone some rhythm and rhyme 

is all it’d ever get to fix that smile this time. 

Unword

Fatu rima lika lita ma

Feel. 

Confusion

Confusing certainty

Certainly uncertainty is confusing 

An ice cream of steam 

Embrace

The chaos of routine

Running road

This road is running away

Road rage 

Bravery is for cowards. 

Overdone steak 

Burn out

Grinding gears. 

Deck chair

…camera, action 

Replay that

Overdone steak 

Burn out

Grinding gears. 

Repeat one. 

Easy to see mourning on my face 

S’where lies the pill that I didn’t take

It’s just life 

But it’s been a long dark day

Am I asleep, or has it been night all along the way?
