Still Frames

Toss and turn
stare at the night
counting rain drops
within me a fight
and I am sleepless
so I write
push and pull
hug myself tight
subconscious eats
marshmallow delight
sea of questions
unanswered tonight
eye lids a screen
for black and whites
toss and turn
stare at the night
counting rain drops
within me a fight
then finally finally
a peaceful goodnight...

You can't change the past, but you can ruin a perfectly good present by worrying about the future
