staying up all night
searching like a fool
wishes come in dreams
wrapped in self-pity
lined with self-righteousness
seams that cry “why me”
such strange bedfellows
living in a paradox
passion and despair
prisoner of self-doubt
fooled by ancient fairy tales
power is within
waking up hungry
waiting for the sun to rise
crunching cheerios
