Fireflies In My Mind

I lay here in a melancholy daze on this solitary night. The luminescent glow from the television beats down on my face. The poorly scripted chatter amongst characters far from resonates with me. The only company I keep are the thoughts in my mind. They swirl around in my head sparking haphazardly like fireflies on a Cincinnati summer night. That's the crazy thing about your mind... If you sit back and just let it talk to you, you never know what it will say.

"I wish there was someone to call."
"I've got to stop skipping meals."
"Why can't some inspiration hit me?"
"Funny how we call these people our 'friends'."
"This movie is starting to get good."
"I'm going to kill my teeth with all this candy."
"Baby Green Eyes."
"If you're going to talk behind my back, maybe you should wait for me to turn around."
"I can't believe it's November."
"Will I ever be recognized for all that I have to offer?"
"One more week!"
"Even if I did drink alcohol I wouldn't act like you."
"How is it that I see these things and you don't?"
"It's not that I didn't like you. I was just scared that I wouldn't be enough for you."
"Funny how I learned to be a man from a woman."
"I really need to get back to writing these scripts."
"She's already a better friend than those I've had for years."
"Being a gentleman is not a thing of the past."
"I wish someone would text me."
"I no longer love you in that way. But I still love you with all my heart."
"I should play some music."
"I still love looking at that sign in the corner of my room."
"Nice guys really do tend to finish last."
"I can't watch you do this."
"The selfish side of me liked it before the good news."
"I just want to make a difference in people's lives."
"I should really write this all down."


So here I am. Me and my thoughts. Plenty of room in this bed for both of us. But sometimes it's like they try to push me out. Will I wake up on the floor? I don't know.
For now I'll just watch the fireflies.


Live, love & learn!
