The Undecipherables
I woke in the night
"I've lost something" fright
With amnesiastical thoughts
I try to remember with all my might
My bag is missing
I can't remember the design
Perhaps it became a butterfly and flew away
I wake in the night
"I'm in danger" fright
With amnesiastical thoughts
I try to save myself with all my might
I don't know who I am
Is that not the days musing?
Where does it come from
I think in the night
"I'm unfixable" fright
With amnesiastical thoughts
I try to resolve with all my might
There's nothing wrong
Except I'm hard to please
Obtaining then discarding hard won dreams
I exist in the night
"I'm in the wrong place" fright
With amnesiastical thoughts
I try to recalibrate with all my might
I need to see myself through other eyes
There need be nothing wrong
I've succeeded and am sitting pretty
I question quietly in the night
"why am I not grateful" fright
With amnesiastical thoughts
I try to jolt myself awake
