Sleep

I like sleeping 

It takes away the pain that lives inside of me 

It takes away the thoughts that wander the halls when I’m awake 

I don’t cause any harm to anyone, not even myself 

And the tears stop falling down 

I’m unconscious 

I dream of the perfect life things 

All the things I dream to be 

But once my eyes blink twice, regaining consciousness in all their might 

I feel myself fall apart once more 

Awaken by the five am alarm clock 

Where my room is dim and I can only feel what surrounds me 

My pillow, my blanket, myself 

Where I lay, thinking of ways to put the pain away 

Thinking of ways to not let anything show except a nice smile and eyes that seem full of glow

And as soon as I’m aware, it’s time to start the day 

I pray that the time goes by fast 

So I can tuck myself in at last 

And lose myself in the name of sleep 

Where I can be alone 

With my true, broken self 

And dream of a world, I’m forever happy
