Perchance to Dream

Lately I’ve been feeling muffled

Under a pillow

Screaming, not suffocating

Straining to fill my lungs with air and my mind with ideas

And my life with meaning.

There is no meaning under a pillow.

No tooth fairy will come and see the value in me.

Sleep on your stomach, you drown in down

Sleep on your back, you face the vastness of evermore.

Sleep regardless, because tomorrow is going to happen whether you like it or not.

Your life doesn’t give you meaning

You give meaning to your life.
