Never Quite There

Wake up early, warm in my throat.

Please wake me up.

I was up too late night-dreaming of forbidden things.

Natural today with a little help,

I need to abolish that.

I look at her and wish I was left-handed

and could wear hats like that.

I push myself, think I’ve gotten far,

broken down barriers, or atleast one,

yet I try again and feel like I am stuck in the mud,

my feet coming out of my shoes

without my permission.

My, My, Me, Me, Myself, why?

I need a change, something new yet familiar.

I have a secret. I know exactly what I need,

no complacency, no settlement,

try harder, open and pour out my mind

onto paper for only myself.

Blinds closed close to all the way,

sunshine peeking through

kind of like my life.

I have a small glimmer of hope.
