Sometimes I call people

At midnight

I want to tell them about my day

How the mailman came in

Shaking, barely functioning,

He said he just needed one drink.

I couldn’t help

But think of his kids

But I can’t

Everyone is asleep

I want to share how

I was mocked

And it hurt

My image is no joke kid

Stop and think

My brain

Spurts out random thoughts

He said don’t ever let it

Get that bad

Do it for fun

Relax

Never ever, rely your life on it.

Tomorrow you’ll wake

See the picture

And listen attentively
