State of Despair

Before you read, you may need an explanation, which is that this about relaxing and forgetting about your problems, we all need to rewind now and then.   I also tried to use different rhyme schemes.

When you get tired, weak or just need a rest
Go to a place, a comfortable cave, or cozy nest
All you need is water, it’ll replenish your spirit
For a moment, just think that you’re able to bare it

Time is futile to perceive, throw out your clock
Forget to set the alarm, your judgment will wake you
If not, always remember at your door, it will knock
Unconscious actions, they overwhelm what you do

Lay your head, down upon a pillow of this trust
A strange man tells you, “Don’t forget about me.”
“I’ve nothing to remember”, you softly reply
Your brain sees freedom, the worries are now rust

Things you never let leave, wandered away scared
Ignoring them helped, but will they ever return?
Signals ahead cast shadows of guilt, they shall burn
A new man has found light in this darkened world

.... let us pray for our veterans ...

Jeremy,
I like this one, sometimes we do have to just leave the world to relax.  Good job    I really like this part, sometimes I feel I run my life based on my watch:

"Time is futile to perceive, throw out your clock
Forget to set the alarm, your judgment will wake you"

And veterans certainly deserve our prayers today, and everyday.  We wouldn't be here without them.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them!
