Turn Off the Light (4:00 AM – Hour 20)
~ D², @d2poetry
When my mind is racing
And there no clarity insight
Just lower the music and
Turn off the light
When my body is aching
And I do not feel right
Just turn off the television and
Turn off the light
When exhaustion is unbearable
And I want to pick a fight
Just hang up the phone and
Turn off the light
When I keep re-reading the same words
And the pages seem too bright
Just close the books and
Turn off the light
When the slightest noise
Cause me to jump in fright
Just muffle all noises and
Turn off the light
When my mind can no longer
Think of words to delight
Just shut down the computer and
Turn off the light
Good Night!
(Well not really, I have 4 more pieces to write!)
