I took a breath,
Lying awake,
My head combusted with
thoughts of reverie,
I need an asylum
Away from this place of
discomfort.
With no people,
A place for my thoughts to
reorganize themselves.
I need no remorse,
nor disillusionment
I need silence, I need serenity
I need nothing
Yet everything at once.

The author's comments:
This is one of many pieces i have written, normally late at night in order to express myself. I usually cannot sleep until i have completed them. I hope this will have an impact on readers, and they will somehow be able to relate to it.
