LET'S TAKE A BREAK
Dinner at night with the stars Breakfast with the birds Insomnia my pal Yet, it isn't enough? How long should I wait? When will life give me what I want? My desires and yearnings? Haven't I tried enough? I'm tired! Frustrated! Nauseous at life's answer To my cries Let's take a break I need rest Time away from all this stress It's enough! Beneath the starry skies, I dine at night, And with the birds at dawn, my day takes flight. Insomnia keeps me company, oh so near, Yet still my heart is filled with want and fear. How long must I wait for life to give, The yearnings and desires that in me live? Have I not tried enough to earn my keep, And find the peace that makes my heart leap? I'm tired of the struggle, the endless fight, Of feeling frustrated and nauseous at life's sight. Let's take a break, a moment to rest, To escape the stress that leaves me so distressed. For beneath the starry skies, and with the birds at dawn, I'll find the strength to rise and carry on.
