Misgui-dance...
I miss the days when people who needed attention gave a kind mention
No one complained like a child demanding such a show

Repetitious...
Simple plan to sleep
My rest-full face, I can't seem to keep
Eyes stare into time, never finding interest for more than a moment eternal
So, with blurred eyes, I write again in my digital journal
