I am asleep right now
I wonder if I will ever wake
I hear nothing, not in the night
I see no dream, not a single shape
I want to get up, desperately
I am unable to shake
I pretend that there will be morning soon, but
I feel that dread of mine
I touch the edges of these sheets
I worry if with the devil I'll dine
I cry and cry with no relent
I am beneath the earthy rind
I understand I am one with my home
I say to myself, "It's okay"
I dream of waking, but with no regard
For the things that happened today
I try and try, but cannot break free
I hope it will all go away
