Ramblings

Kindrah Pauly

I got lost driving home last night

a route I’ve driven a million times before

Time flies by and i don’t remember a thing

my body aches and my soul screams

yearns for some time to just lay still

and sleep But even sleeping makes me

tired and the nightmares come easy

The clock goes ticking but where am I?

im not in my own head but im not

fully in the world around me either

Im scared and I need to know whats

wrong with me? The biggest question I ask

every day. Whats wrong with me? Sometimes

I can’t tell whether Im dreaming or not

wasn’t that wall white before ??

I feel like Im losing my mind
