I heard someone sarcastically sputter,
"You are what you eat."
But hearing that sole sentence

Insomnia
There's a party in my head
As I close my eyes to sleep.
Little creatures and monsters,
Oh, back and forth they creep.
On silent tip-toes they walk,
Playing melodies in my mind.
Finding caverns I have closed,
Putting my life on rewind.
My mind is somewhere else,

But at least his love is whole.
Her breathing is heavy,
And her skin is pale.
She's dying, some would say.
But at least she knows how to live.
At least a woman without a house
Knows how to make a home.
Hand her a loaf of bread,
And she won't devour it,
Because she knows how to treasure
The beauty in life.
At least a boy without a smile
Knows how to hold on,
Longer than someone who's never fallen,
And never dared to learn
How to fly.

Sorry for the stream of darker poetry in the last uploads, I shall try and mix it up more in the future! Still working on multiple pieces, but this is a shorter one that came to mind today, and I liked it enough to upload! FEEDBACK APPRECIATED!
