They say sleep is an easy thing
But to be honest I don't believe them
Sleep is just
A step closer to death
Than you are while you're awake
Maybe your sleep
Is different than mine
Maybe for you it's nice
When I sleep I miss hours at a time
For me it's like a vice
Sometimes I sleep
To forget what happened
Sometimes I sleep
To be left alone
Sometimes I sleep
Because it no longer matters to me
Whether I be alive
Or dead and stone cold
If I want to sleep
I do, I will
If I don't there is nothing you can do
That will make me change my mind
My apologies if this upsets you
Or makes you think I'm not alright
I'm perfectly fine
And frankly
When I need to I sleep through the night
