Sleep of A Dark Day

When the world is crazy, how do you escape?
When nothing seems to go our way?
We yawn, but are not tired,
or maybe you are,
you just
don't
feel
it
yet.
Because you look up to see the silver lining,
but it is gone, fading as your energy.
You've lost the love of your life,
And nothing is going right.
So you yawn again,
and rumble
in your
self-
pity.
Nothing good ever comes out of this late night
thinking thoughts of possibilities and goals.
You are awake, but yet you dream,
leaving nothing but a bit
of silence left in
the gleam
of this
dark
day.
