waking up asleep

one sheep.

two sheep.

i lost count, really; i lost myself even more after doing things people would usually do to close their eyes, to make themselves feel better, to be in deep slumber— but i woke up asleep, still.

asleep in a way i walk, but can't see; asleep in a way my heart’s not beating normally— i want to say it hurts.

but i just felt numb, and waking up asleep drowns me. i walk closing my eyes, expecting no one to notice until they see me smile.
