Every night I feel disconnected
Like a cable pulled out of the socket.
I don’t mean I’m low on energy
or some rest is what I need
I’m charged just enough
I stare into my mind
to find nothing to do, to spend my time.
The warm summer nights used to be
lovely for reading before I sleep.
This cold night however,
I’m unsure if I want to wager
my sleep for a few pages.
The same words that helped me grow
now leave me hollow.
What is it that I’m looking for?
I’ll wait for the answer
hoping I’ll find it on my way
tomorrow if not today.
