Pray That I Won't Wake.

My mind screams "Failure!"

My body screams "Pain!"

My soul cries "Stop!

Can't you let us fade away?"

My loved ones say "later,

I don't have time today"

But just how soon is later?

Will it be before I cave?

Even if they notice,

That I'd begun to fade.

Will they try to comfort me?

Will it be too late?

Even as they brush me off

my mind is in my grave.

so as I close my eyes tonight.

I pray that I won't wake.
