Splintery
My body screams for peace
PEACE!
But
wouldn't that be too easy?
That bed,
it's not used for sleeping.
Sitting, sitting.
Thinking, thinking.
Thoughts that make me
queasy.
Sitting, sitting.
Glancing outside
every season or two,
jealous of the weather.
It changes.
We all talk about
change
'cause it's what we think we want.
Doors.
That's what we really want.
They open and close
for better
for worse.
We may get lost
behind a busted, splintery door.
We find ourselves there, too.
But when will I find peace?
