my brain rapid fires
like a trigger happy 
thirteen year old boy
playing call of duty 
that’s exactly why i spend most nights 
wide awake
counting stars instead of sheep
and contemplating the meaning 
of the smallest things

and while i know that
everything looks different once
the morning comes
tonight, underneath my self made stars
things are just a little bit brighter
and i hope you know why

but if my random musings are lost
on you as they are on… well everyone
i’ll put it one last way
my thoughts don’t dance alone tonight 
instead they waltz to you
wherever it is you rest your head. 

so i hope your thoughts are dancing too.
