Dreams on the Shelf

May 28, 2014

Changing my hours

climbing stone towers

leaving my mind once again.

No longer sleeping

constantly leaping

to wrap up my loose odds and ends.

As I awaken

I'm jolted and shaken

expected to shift up my gears.

If I go cruisin'

Will I be losing

respect from my loved one's and peers.

Though I know what's best

Ignore all the rest

keeping my thoughts to myself.

It's only a game

to keep people sane

to put all their dreams on the shelf.
