Dream Threads

Thoughts about my grandmother keep me awake at night.

Anxiety, stress, restlessness, tossing and turning.

Noises, lights, thoughts of the day that ended behind me.              

Thoughts of sadness, happiness, and every emotion in between.

Thinking about my friends, and wondering what lies ahead in our friendship.

Thoughts and worries about my mom, and hating watching her struggle.

Late nights listening to new music, watching Netflix, and snuggling with my dogs.

Being so unbelievably cold, and taking every blanket from the linen closet.

Talking on the phone for hours, passing the hours away.

Dreading the early morning to come, knowing I need the sleep.

So many thoughts running through my mind, keeping me awake for hours on end.

I am unable to focus on one of the 10,000 thoughts in my head.
