In Sight or A Dream

Freedom
It is in sight
Right around the bend
More than what I ever dreamed
Today though I am not dreaming
I am stuck in place
Stagnant in life
Unhappy although grateful for my blessings
Although many feel that you cannot be both
Working to live
Check to check
I make due
Hoping to have better dreams
New dreams that will make my old dreams
So common that they become reality

State Of Love

Can't sleep
Unsettled
Staring at you
Looking comfortable
Probably dreaming about something selfish
How did I get here
Not physically but mentally
Lying next to a stranger
We were good at a time
Good for each other
Love resided in our home
Memories and time passed
Laughs and conversation and sex
Took place
I did not see this coming
Unsure of where the turning point was
Downward is the direction though
Because I have not slept well for months
While you say you are more rested than ever
That does not ease my worry
How did I get here
