Midnight Blues Poems

It's getting late...
It's time to sleep...
It's time to go to bed...
But so much is going through my head...
...

You hurt me when I'm awake.
You hurt me in my dreams.
You lie to me consistently 
You lie to yourself so many years.
...

Why do people have to hurt?
Why do people let them...
Why do people hang onto pain
Why don't people let it go...
...

Calm myself breathe, breathe, breathe
There just words....
They can't hurt me.
So keep your cool, it's time too...
...

I woke up after a dream....
Why do I have these dreams....
My sister tells me, I should write them down...
But I don't want to read about that same dream,  
...

Get up in the morning,
Frustration...
Everything is suffocating me,
Frustration...
...

I hear you call out for me..
I hate to see the pain...
I want to help you,
but how can you help someone,
...

Sometimes I just want to flee,  
run & just keep running...
But running is all I ever knew....
But when I was running I was free...
...

I sit here at the door way
Listening in...
Do I hear?
What are you looking for?
...

It's over cast,
It's cloudy,
Is it going to rain?
Let the new year begin with the rain.
...
