Eyes open with no view in here
Hate fumed with the many hues in here
Closed minds with no room in here
The putrid perfume of doom looms in here
Time stole my dreams, no Martin Luther here
Pictures of my ex-stowed away like souvenirs
Lockdown, lights out
Loved ones barely write now
My sons are riding bikes now
My ex and baby mama got new dudes that they like now
Out of sight, out of mind
Out for mine, alpha mind
Make fire from the alkalines, just to cloud my mind
From these guys with their hand signs pantomimed
I’m dazed in this maze from my ways but I’ve paid the for the price
But dear Lord, I only feel safest at night.

“He” said to me …he didn’t mind the last LD cuz he was able to “get good rest”…for a moment I had a selfish thought I miss you when they LD…but then realized how exhausting emotionally it has to be to be on guard 24/7…365 for years at a time…”feeling safest at nite.”…thank you for sharing.
