Early Bird - September 24, 2019

Early bird gets the thought.

The thought that everyone

Else sleeps through.

One that the majority avoids,

Only the lonesome choose.

The deserted should evade

Dark morning calls.

They will only fall into

Overthinking,

Heartache,

And torment.

Early bird gets the thought.

The ones who win the

Extra sleep and dreams

Are the lucky birds.

They get to revel

In the lack of thoughts

Throughout the night.

Dreams leave them falling

Cheerfully,

Playful

And childlike.

Early bird gets the thought.

It’s 4 AM and here I am

With thoughts flowing

And tears forming.

I am the isolated

Who needed the dreams,

Not the thoughts.

Instead I have fallen into

Suffering,

Bitterness

And despair.

I long to not be the

Early bird who gets the thought.
