Yearn for Serenity

Today is another day already.  On the dawn I can hear it…. the multiple requests of things people need from me.  Things people want from me.  But I just want silence.  Just a week or two.  True silence.  Waking up to nothing.  Not a to-do list.  Not an impending deadline.  No barrels hovering over head.  Just… freedom.  Free time.  Free thought.  Free-ness.  To do WHATEVER I want.  Hurts to think that those years are over and I wasted them on stupidity.

Truth be told?  I’d waste them on stupidity now too…
