Disconnected

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.
