Purple Shadows
I don’t feel tired but
The circles under my eyes
Tell a different story
And often I am too
Wrapped up in my thoughts
Miss the mirror more than look in it
People keep saying it
You look exhausted
Are you doing okay?
I have to say
I feel better than a lot of other times
Would rather be here than those
But maybe I’m setting some things free
Maybe it shows up in odd ways
Purple shadows
And maybe I should get
Some good sleep tonight
Not that sleep does what I ask of it
Hope it lights everything up, in the morning
