this place is nicer

Folder: 
2018

Many unrelenting stimuli 

prove a worthy adversary to a feeble core

which is why I adore moments like this

of overtired, blissful simplicity

 

This place is nicer

as my eyelids droop

and warmly coat these ocular gateways

comparable to the temperature

but not the texture

of freshly-burnt toast

and a thin film of fatigue

blurs my vision, but merely in a minor nuisance kind of way...

but for reasons I cannot articulate

this dopey grin remains pasted on this wearily clean-shaven dome

 

I want to resolve every one of my shortcomings

and every one of my strained relationships

in the serene headspace

surrounding this umpteenth hour of awakedness

every song is an anthem and a triumph

every idea is a masterpiece

yes

this place is nicer

than the pointless tension

caused by the meaningless drivel driven

by other doers

conducting my grand scheme of things

constantly torquing my insides

only aided by another addictive pill

for the low, low cost of your spirit!

 

yea

this place is nicer

"pointless drivel"

Just re-read this poem and found gems aplenty. To sleep, perchance...each day brings its unique forms of nonsense and irritations - Lay me down and it will be nicer here assuredly - a fan :D
