Jet Lag

Woke up by almost 10 pm,

Feeling so confused with lots of questions popped in my mind.

I was so lost I didn't realise it was night.

Then the crickets' sounds reminded me that it's already dark.

I swam across a deep dark ocean in my dream, but I remember nothing. 

I bite my nails to see if I'm still in my sleep or it's the scene in real life I'd never be able to neglect.

I guess I miss traveling just too much that my mind exaggerated when I slept 

then left me a blank space as I think I'm having a jet lag.

Jet lag from what?

From excuses that I made perhaps

From the surreal experiences that's too sudden

From the short days that lasts forever in memory

I went back and forth to see that I only got nothing from being this restless

Then I ask myself, it's probably me who is sick after all, who is incapable of handling things, whose wall is too thin and fragile

For sure it's me

For I project things to another soul

For I push a soul that's already burdened

For I am addicted to pills that would never be found in the drugstore
