CAR

As I sit here, not far 

From my home

From my sanity 

As I wait for the drive to be over

I wonder am I

Sane or going insane in this car?

LEFT OUT POEM

I remember a few years ago

I think you know 

How this is gonna go 

Fortnight is what ruined it 

Everyone talked about it a little bit 

All of my friends would talk 

About their favorite game 

But I did not feel the same about this game

LOW

Hello down there 

I see you right there looking so sad, in despair 

In the depths down below 

So, so low

I am sure you are sad, not glad, maybe mad 

But why, why so low?

HIGH

Hello up there

So fair and so happy 

But why, so high in the sky 

How easy to fly so high up there?

SLEEP

I lay here yearning for sleep,

Lying,

Waiting, but it does not come.

I lay in dismay, waiting for sleep, 

Waiting for the darkness to engulf me, to take me away.

I lay here waiting.
