Up for Days

I'm sure that I keep losing time
to all these nickles, quarters and dimes
despite my always looking behind
to see if they're still watching.

They don't know that I'm aware,
even if I stop and stare,
and call to them, but do I dare?
Or leave them in my periphery?

All my friends think I'm deranged.
They think I have gone insane.
Just because of the inky stains
beneath the eyes that never sleep.

They don't know I'm all charged up.
I just had a couple puffs.
Just last week I got hooked up.
Or was it a month ago?

It doesn't matter cause I am high,
and the shadow monsters cannot fly
all they do is run and hide
as soon as I confront them.

I've spent many days being the monster peeking threw the blinds.....lost track of time yet still wait for the next time...

i can relate to the shadow monsters.... seen too many in my day. Don't want to see them any more.

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
