Exhausted but not tired
Free but still shackled
Lights all around you
You close your eyes
Awake but still without rest
Lights have gone away
Silence surrounds you
You close your eyes
A new ceiling welcomes you
Friends have come around
Scent of dogs is near
You close your eyes
Morning light comes ’round again
Missing dreams once more
A soft touch nearby
You don’t open your eyes.
