"You only live once but if you do it right, once is enough"


The gray is comforting,
the darkness hugs gently.
The pain ebbs as I
start to dream.
Wistfully
I begin to drift,
like laying in a boat.
each wave pulls
me closer
to sleep.
Sleep.
Sleep is
all I want.
The thoughts
become  a haze
the fog soothes
me. what time
do I need
to be up
for work?
What is it
like to go sailing?
I have to remember
the lacrosse drills.
Could I run away
to the ocean?
Will I bow
to God or
hug Him?
How long will
my mind be dark
and cloudy? A mental
overcast. Do they
understand
there is
no simple
fix? No switch?
How long will sleep
keep the depression
at bay? The gray is comforting,
darkness hugs gently.
Waves of sleep kiss
my forehead.
