Signing Off

it’s not safe here in this room
so I’ll turn the struggle inward
if I can still the rushing tides
then I can hone a fearless mind
and maybe I won’t sign off tonight

in the darkness I can see
from the top of the room
strike my eyes they’re not my windows
seeing only woe

breathing in I seek control
breathing out I let it go
and maybe I won’t sign off tonight
