Places I Go When I Close My Eyes

it's 3:47 AM. you can't sleep.

close your eyes. the patterns are waiting.
geometric phosphenes you never chose to see.
warm orange light through your eyelids.
shapes that dissolve. impressions of faces.

this space only exists behind your eyelids.
no one else sees these exact patterns.
this is yours.

collect memories worth keeping.
avoid thoughts that won't leave you alone.
learn to coexist with them instead of fighting.
