Sleep


sleep is an escape route

a hard road to go down

drifting into another

reality tries

 

maybe because of 

the worry that pries

or fear of a strong desire

for the lies

 

after lying and sighing

letting go 

the grip of logic

then arrives

 

dreaming away

the truth of day

minds wrapped in the skies
