The Project - Day 28

JT sings
Sleep Come Free Me
and I know what he means.

Chained to consciousness, I’m trapped in the waking world
unable to dream,
barred from nocturnal inspiration.

Barring the elevation to the imagination
I object to being pinned here
awake
like a subject in a lab test
of my own devising.

This is the hour of review
for all my failures
my personal shortcomings
and relationships lost or damaged.

This dark parade of loss
I could do without.
