Sometimes

Sometimes

you just can't sleep

oh I know

it is good to sleep

I tell those I work with

get your sleep

but sometimes

you just can't sleep

life intrudes

your mind goes crazy

and so there you are

on your computer

early in the morning

not surfing

not reading the political news

how depressing is that?

just wandering around

looking for a place to land

 

sometimes reality sucks

sometimes 

realizing who you are

what you life is like

sucks

 

you can pretend

you can practice denial

a specialty of mine

 

but at 3 or 4

in the morning

pretense dies

and you must look in the mirror

 

and see
