i lust for rest. (!!!POETRY JUMPSCARE!!!)
i lust for rest.
i imagine my time resting
i am bathing
i am eating
i am truly, at rest.
i lust for rest.
i yearn for it
i pine after it
i imagine my time resting
i am calm
i am happy
i have no thoughts
i am truly, at rest.
yet when i have the time,
when i have the time to rest
i can't.
i squirm
i shake
i pace around the room.
during those moments
i imagine my time resting
i am in my old room
the air is warm
the a/c hums
the night sky is loud with thunder
the rain falls onto roofs and sidewalks
like water balloons thrown by angels.
i lust for rest
not a bath
not a cup of hot tea
i lust for the rest i had when i was young,
when all i had to do was go to bed
and wake up in the morning.
