Optimism (With a Little Help)

Folder: 
2008

Feeling optimistic

already wrote a verse

So I needed a little help

So I might need it again

to recover those lines I lost

But God I feel good

accomplished

Though I've been up all night

fighting the sleepiness

that threatens to take over

and force my eyes to close

Not realizing that time

doesn't stand still for anyone

but it sure felt like it did for me

last night and I vaguely remember

crawling clumsily into bed

with a satisified smile

knowing I'll find those lost lines

Then waking up to so many perfect verses

I've kept stored inside myself

with windows barred

This day is good

even if I need a little help

I'm riding the bus

and the sunlight

actually looks good to me

for the first time

And I'm feeling optimistic

with a little help

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I've had severe writers block for a few months now and I took some xanax and for some unknown reason 17 poems just flowed out of me. My computer crashed and I lost one of them but I think if I take xanax again I'll remember the lost lines. So this is basically my thank you note to xanax for breaking my writer's block. I don't feel like myself when I can't write. I hardly feel alive.
