Leave Me Alone, I Said To Myself
So, where have you been?
I’ve been waiting for you
A voice asks me — from inside my head
*
I answered hesitantly
What are you doing here?
As I restlessly flail in my bed
*
I thought I told you to leave me alone
My meds are meant to keep you away
The voice turns to laughter and then says to me, there is no way to keep me at bay
*
What you don’t understand and refuse to admit
Your control becomes mine when you sleep
I, your subconscious — have a plan and agenda, and a limited time frame to keep
*
So just lay back and relax — I’ll let you know when I’m done
Take a breath and relinquish your inhibitions
Don’t worry, you won’t remember — it’ll be fun
You should ignore any future premonitions
*
When the moon comes and peeks in your window
The light shines on you — lost deep in dreams
Nothing is at all what it looks like
