"Sleepless" Poem
Sleepless
The fight is real
Make it stop
Scared to sleep
Scared to not
Drown right there
Or drown with a boat
Drown by a nightmare
Or drown by a thought
Stay awake
Or pretend dead
Hurry, I want to rest my head
Stay awake
Or fade to black
Hurry, the thoughts are coming back
Hurry I am hurting can't you see?
Hurry I am dying in my dreams
Hurry because I can't hear my cry
Wake me up before I die
Wake me up it's not the path i chose
Cause I don't want to die with both my eyes closed
Sleep is supposed to be relaxation for the tired
To you it's admired to me undesired
The fact that I burn all my thoughts with that fire
That's completely unpleasant but deeply required
So I start blinking rapidly to rest my little eyes
To not go to sleep to not meet my demise
I start listening to people, and broadcasting my cries
I mean to me it is horrible and they say fear is a lie?
They say fear is not here, not there and not true
So if the fear is isn't real but the fear is in you
Don't stress it's a phase it'll be over soon
Or maybe paranoia but who has a clue
Talk to your parents, or show your facade
Talk to your friends, get close to your god
People are judging a man for his weep
The scar is so deep, i can't go to sleep
