As I lay there restless under a heap of blankets, my mind wanders helplessly.
When I fall asleep I have a dream that leaves an impression on me, but I don't know why.
I wake up to my two little kids jumping in bed with me and my husband. We resist waking up for a little bit, but eventually give in. My husband rolls over and says he'll make breakfast. The kids run off yelling with joy following their dad. I watch them run off as I roll back over for a little more rest. Being off work for the day, I had nothing to worry about, and just when I'm dozing off to to that thought, I am woken up again. This time is was to the sound of them laughing in the kitchen. Having my family, the three most important people in my life; happy. That is when I realized I was content with my life and I wouldn't change anything. I loved my family, I had finally lived out my dream of becoming a lawyer, and I was comfortable in life. As I sat there, listening to it, I realized that was my favorite sound in the world.
That dream was one I didn't want to wake up from, I was happy being asleep.
They're the kind of dreams that take a little piece of your soul every time you close your eyes.

Dream Marks on My Pillow

Getting a good nights sleep is hard. First there is the struggle of getting into bed at the right time. Get everything you need done for the day, done by that certain hour. Then once your'e finally in bed, can you fall asleep? You can be extremely tired and still not be able to fall asleep, too much on your mind, not the right environment, so many factors. Some people need a quiet, pitch black room. While others need sound, maybe a little light. Once you finally get the room the perfect volume and lighting you just can't seem to turn your brain off. What all happened today? What do I need to do tomorrow? What could I wear, well that depends on the temperature. A million things racing through your mind, none even important at the moment. How does someone fall asleep so easily, how do you turn off your mind, get to bed on time? Another sleepless night will be another lesson learned.

If I Were in Charge of the World

If I were in charge of the world I'd cancel heels, dark circles, and also math classes. 

If I were in charge of the world there's be longer nights, happier people, and cheaper clothes.

If I were in charge of the world you wouldn't have sadness. You wouldn't have stress. You wouldn't have sleepless nights. Or "Be home by curfew." You wouldn't even have curfews.

If I were in charge of the world a cheesecake would be a vegetable. All continuous, annoying sounds wouldn't exist. And a person who sometimes forgot to match or sometimes forgot to do their homework would sill be allowed to be in charge of the world.

Reflective Pool of Life

Some people knew

Even from the very beginning

What or who they wanted to be

But it wasn't that easy for everyone

Who are you? Who will you be?

Questions that set up your life

Something that will reflect on you 

So look for the answer to your question

Behind Blue Eyes

There was something there
Drawing everything deeper
Behind her blue eyes


Tranquil Vibe

A calm tranquil vibe
Consumes everything around
Relaxation takes over

Moonlit Path

There he was waiting
Admiring how she looked
On the moonlit path
