    Lay Me To Rest

    I'm tired now, I wish that I could rest
    And not wake with ciggerets and stale liquor on my breath
    I'm weary of thoughts that leave my mind intwined in a mess
    And I'm tired of fearing madness will be my death

    I'm so tired now, and most I miss the dreams
    Most nights bring darkness, worse than the nightmares seem
    I miss the world where it was somewhate serene
    Oh, I miss those nights when I could dream

    I ache so much, it feels my bones should break
    But there's so much left to do, and much more at stake
    Push forward now, whatever it might take
    All I feel is pain, no love, no hate

    I'm so tired now, just let me lay here for a bit
    So many promises I wish I could forget
    I've failed them all and the thoughts make me sick
    And my time keeps moving but I no longer here it tick

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
