They always make sense to me, 

when nothing else does. 

When life feels overwhelming, 

Overburdening in all its expectations,

 I turn my back 

And return to this nook, 

Free of every possible thought, 

And with all the thoughts in the world, 

In hope that I will find peace, 

And joy, 

Or whichever scrap of it I can manage to get, 

Before it turns too dark to see outside. 

And as I drift away,

Slowly but surely sinking into unconsciousness,

I wonder, 

If you are life after all.
