Sleep


I sleep in the midst of a trembling day,

waiting for someone dare to say

" Are you okay, or is this just all a phase?"

Once the murmurs go away, sleeping becomes a safe haven

No one can get me here or the need to feel caved in.

slowly as I sleep, hearing the peaceful winds waving.

I sleep in the midst of a trembling night,

All I want to say now is " Leave alone and goodnight."
