4:00am, mtn Dew, and bad decisions

NinjaGirl

running on

2 hrs of sleep

the caffine

keeps me up

but I sit alone

lonely and

long for company

so I find it

theres always

someone

who wants

company

or your body

but isn't that

the same?

    • NinjaGirl

      I'm very glad you relate, then I'm not the only one! I thought with a title so specific, it wouldn't be very applicable to a lot of ppl but here we are

      This is deeper than the first glance does tell. Every one wants something and is that the same? Body, mind, money or your heart what is it you value? All in a point of view. A most thought provoking poem that bears the cynacism of age and the innocense of youth

      • NinjaGirl

        i'm certainly a cynic if I know one! its so disheartening that almost everything can be bought, and one is bound to get the shorter end of the stick.

        My dear friend, this poem packs a punch despite its deceptively simple appearance. I love how you've captured the loneliness and desperation of those late-night/early-morning hours. Been there and felt that. The line 'but isn't that / the same?' is particularly poignant, highlighting the blurred lines between genuine connection and physical presence/comfort. Your words resonate deeply, reminding me of similar experiences with insomnia and the search for connection. I very much appreciate this piece, NinjaGirl.🌹👏

          I'm very glad you like it! It's a bit of a tragedy, I'll say, and sometimes I relate to the famous song saying "what is love? Baby, don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more." For such a popular song with an upbeat melody, it's rather sad. Sometimes I don't know the meaning of love, but I long for it, like an old friend. Maybe it's only human to want love.

          • Tristan Robert Lange

            Indeed. 💯 It is very human to want love. For sure...and I know the song and get the emotions you share. I appreciate you sharing them! 🙏
