Soon I'll Sleep Again

Submitted by Carl Halling on Sat, 2020-09-12 11:26

Soon I’ll sleep again,
And I will feel no pain,
For a little time,
Peace will be all mine,
My mind will seek
Freedom from the past,
And I’ll be carefree,
Although it will not last.

Style / type: 
Free verse
Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Last few words: 
'Soon, I’ll Sleep Again' dates from early 2017, and while it accurately reflects my state of mind at the time of its original creation, my mood ultimately lifted.
Editing stage: 
Editing - polished draft
Content level:

that Teddy was speaking of the bad things in our pasts; not our whole past. If that were true, we would all be walking around in a constant state of amnesia. Not knowing where we are or how we got here. But, I do understand about how some things are too painful to keep at the forefront of our mind. As "Old Blue Eyes" said; "Regrets, I've had a few." So have we all, is what I think Teddy was saying. Yes, sleep is a mighty healer and we can forget, for a time. Thank whatever, for that. I heard this loud and clear. ~ Geez.
