If we focus on something we believe is wrong

We besmirch others, for their rightful opinions

Wouldn’t it be grand if we could all get along?

Perhaps, blot out the noise, from other minions

I don’t know how it happened, how they locked me in this cage

They’re outside, chattering, while I’m stuck here, enraged

They’ve a warped sense of humor, I need time to figure this out

Somehow I have to open the door, I can’t just sit here and pout

Don’t worry, I won’t do that, I’m nothing like dogs, no way

I’m superiority at my very best, soon, I’ll make those birds pay

Three against one, a bit unfair, as in this cage, I ponder

All these hours, chatting away, is too much time to squander!

I have to stay alert, and wait, the timing must be right

A distraction would be helpful, I can’t stay in here, all night

Finally! They’ve stopped that noise, are they now asleep?

I’m trying to look around at them, I mustn’t make a peep

Looks like they’re dozing, sounds good, I think I will partake

Curling up in sweet silence…

Their squawking, gave me a headache!

Trying to sleep but they won’t let me

Blood pressure and temperature? Check ✅

Laugh when they tell me “get some rest”

But they keep waking me, what the heck!

My roommate has been yelling since 2AM

I finally called for the nurse

Decided there was no way to sleep

The day just seemed to get worse

Hoping to go home later today

So far, all tests have been negative

Waiting for breakfast to arrive

Praying it comes with a sedative!

**I have posted this for the past two years (making this year 3) and decided to make it a Christmas tradition on my blog. It was first written after a serious bought of insomnia, so I blame that…still.**

Please read this to the tune of “Jingle Bells”

imp-1889547_960_720
Falling in the snow
One winter, cold and gray
Over drifts we go
Cursing all the way

No bells will toll for us
Noise is not our thing
Let us be, or you shall see
What happens when you sing

Ooooh, what the hell?!, we all fell
Out of Santa’s sleigh
We don’t know where we should go
This Christmas holiday

Oooooh, here we go, to and fro
We think this is the way
Through the woods, up to no good
This Christ-mas hol-i-daaaaaayyyy!!

Ho Ho!

Too many people, inside of my head

Most fill the hours, with sorrow or dread

Nothing makes sense, I just want to shout

The only way through, has no way out

I’m stuck here, inside me, what can I do?

I’m feeling so foolish, I wish that I knew

How to get rid of the confusion, so snide

It ruffles my feathers and flattens my pride

There’s too much noise, as it swirls all around

I need to plant my feet, on more solid ground

Though I try to quiet my brain, as I lie here, instead

Still seems like I’m drowning, in a nonsensical head
