Dug this little poem up today and thought I'd share it with you all. It's called "A Little Peaceful Rest" and I wrote it way back in my first summer after graduating high school. Let me know what you all think!

“A Little Peaceful Rest”

June 17, 2005

My head fills up with good thoughts
That I just can’t refuse
Then in comes bad imagery
That I just really can’t use
To force this child’s heart
To grow up’s too much to lose

What’s inside my head
Isn’t always the best
No place for birds to nest
It’s what keeps me from
Some simple peaceful rest

I sympathize, I empathize
In places my heart shouldn’t be
I’m so off course
But I’ve been worse
Far more depressed before
As life continues to be
A frighteningly dreadful bore
I know when I look at someone
There’s a whole lot more
Than you’d like to admit, hun

What’s inside my head
Isn’t always the best
No place for birds to nest
It’s what keeps me from
Some simple peaceful rest

If only this brain would
Shut down for a while
Believe me If I could
I’d ignore the bad things
But I’m too smart for that
These horrible rings
I hear souls crying out
The world just ain’t happy
And since my heart is open
The pain of the world
As much as it shouldn’t
Keeps me from some
Peaceful, peaceful rest
