Heal

Sometimes I feel like

I want to heal

the world

Sometimes it seems like

I can do anything

But then sometimes

I realize

that I’m human

and I can’t do

anything.

I lie awake in my bed

curled up like an infant

wanting to leave

it all

behind

I cry out to you

but I’m not sure

you hear

I want you to hold

me

but I’m not sure

you care

I’m shaking

now

I’m not awake

now

but my sleep

doesn’t offer me

peace

Dreams are nightmares

a focusing of my

thoughts

into a light beam

I don’t want

to see.
