Dear World,

I close my eyes and try to let sleep wash over me
I close my eyes and all I see is darkness,
I hear the trailing voices left in my mind from the day
It’s tonight that I can not silence them.
They roam around and around, forbidding me to sleep.
They howl like the coyotes outside my window
They run with the wind through the trees
Although they turn and spin circles in my mind,
They leave me still, silenced in my bed with my eyes wide open.
So again, I find myself writing letters to the world that will never write to me.
