Up for Days

I'm sure that I keep losing time
to all these nickles, quarters and dimes
despite my always looking behind
to see if they're still watching.

They don't know that I'm aware,
even if I stop and stare,
and call to them, but do I dare?
Or leave them in my periphery?

All my friends think I'm deranged.
They think I have gone insane.
Just because of the inky stains
beneath the eyes that never sleep.

They don't know I'm all charged up.
I just had a couple puffs.
Just last week I got hooked up.
Or was it a month ago?

It doesn't matter cause I am high,
and the shadow monsters cannot fly
all they do is run and hide
as soon as I confront them.

I've spent many days being the monster peeking threw the blinds.....lost track of time yet still wait for the next time...

i can relate to the shadow monsters.... seen too many in my day. Don't want to see them any more.

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
