Sleep It Off

Don’t want to come off as redundant

But me thinking of you has been abundant

Should I try to pull you towards my dock

Or should I let you go float amongst your flock

I’m not sure if you make me happy or sad

My day to day has gone from good to bad

Because you perch and nest in my thoughts

Don’t leave me space to connect my dots

I point the finger like you did something wrong

Cause I’ve got a spotlight on you like Kong

I’m gonna need to focus to become great

But my visions blurred staying up late

Thinking you’ll be here any second now

To help me clear things up like with a plow

I’m trying to stick it out and be more bold

But the idea of you has me in a stranglehold

Tried to sleep it off but you’re still on my mind

Why am I so attached to those that are kind

Can’t keep getting myself dragged though mud

Getting chewed up again and again like some cud

But would things be better if I cut the line

Or would I only feel I left part of myself behind

I just need to step up and show I don’t need validation

So I don’t keep feeling guilty about another poem’s creation

These should keep me grounded and stable

Not left in a heap feeling like I’m disabled

I get to show that I care proving I can move on

Once I admit to myself that you’re already gone
