sleep on it

today I had a part to play

a say in which I did display

to feel okay for in my stay

I found a way I could convey

and lay to rest my heart’s dismay

not black or white but firmly gray

and teasing though they may portray

these thoughts that soon begin to fray

my confidence they dare decay

I force away and put at bay

the will I pray can never weigh

or stray into a new delay

in finding what I’m trying to say

I’m just a flower in your bouquet

but hey

this was going somewhere I swear

I think I’ll just sleep on it
