I’m Sleeping On The Couch Again

I mean, futon.

I’m sleeping on the couch again tonight

But it’s a futon

Not just a couch

So that’s not as weird

Right?

Part of me wants to sleep out here because the child in me never could

I wasn’t allowed to spend the night on the couch

My parents always told me to go sleep in my bed

To this day I still don’t know why

Part of me wants to sleep out here because the adult in me wants to sleep somewhere else

It’s been lonely since I moved out

I’m loving the freedom and independence

But I miss the feeling of sleeping in a new bed of someone I’m getting to know

The inner child in me is getting to grow up

But the adult in me wishes I can continue to fast forward

Or maybe go back

You know what

I’m

Not

Really

Sure.
