Lying
On needles and pins
The scenes begin
Playing on the theatre stage
in my mind
The insomina
Enters in
Drama queen fashion
Reliving the rejection
And the fear
I try to cast away...
Intermission never seems
to come soon enough
Cause I could use
A nice cup of chamomile tea
To slow down the junior mints
I have stashed away in my system...


If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.

Very true. Though it does not come soon enough, it does come and when it does it is all that sweeter.

Tomorrow comes for those who fear it.
Today never ends for those who live it.
