Restless Rumours

Freedom a state I seek
every moment I lie awake
another ray filters in rousing
restless rumours of sleep

mindless muddles of thought roll past
never erasing feelings that endlessly last overthinking every move I made
forgetting nothing as dreams evade

leaving traces of me alongside lonely trails blazed
scattered amongst well wishers
and singers of praise

freedom a state I seek, over time taken away
with reflections of younger self seemingly long gone astray

each wrinkle highlighted by visions blinded by sight
echoed in hollowed chambers replayed every sleepless night
