Some Thoughts

At the time I am writing this, it is 12:54 AM on Dec 9, 2016. Why am I writing poetry so late? One may ask, well, ill tell you, because I enjoy it.

Far after the sun has gone to sleep,
I sit with a drink in my hand,
Relaxing, and taking some time to myself,
And trying to just, understand,
The daylight is hectic,
The rat race is frantic,
But the defining silence is pleasing,
In the night's dark outside, for me peace resides,
For the silence drowns out the world.

My dreary eyes droop,
As I write down these thoughts,
Just letting my mind draw a blank,
Far of from the troubles,
And political greed,
Of a world that is drifting to chaos,

And my drink, now it ends,
And I ponder my sins,
As sleep tries once more to claim me,
Ive stolen, I've lied, But I've given, I've cried,
I've stabbed in the back those who trust me,

Alone now I roam,
Just a wayward soul,
Making his way to the horizon,
Forever I'm lost,
I carry my cross,
Treading off into eternity.

The time is now 1:16 AM, and Im just to tired to sleep. Perhaps another can of Dr.Pepper is in order. These are just the ramblings of a tired madman, I dont know if Ill post this, but if I do, I thank you for taking the time to read this.
