Oh! I sleep during the day.
Calls, duties take a
back step. One of
deep slumber.
Oh! but for the night
dreams gnaw and sting
present both pleasant
and terrible.
Those affable
relate to my childhood
where my mother dominates
school and university glide past
The other places me
in a state, reminiscing
the hardships, loss
disappointments.
recalls the nightmares
anguish, fraudulence
I endured, making me half dead,
currently half asleep,
A kind of insomnia sets in
Unable to forgive
and forget, I move on
falling short of virtuosity
Revenge, I do not attempt.
as I could never be vicious,
That being the scenario
I turn vigilant the whole night.
