cool kids never sleep

7

Run away,
Skip the day,
Fall asleep and stay that way.
These are all I want to do
But I won't do it without you
Heavy thoughts and heavy hearts
Words that tear our world's apart
Bruises, scars, and lack of will
Finally the chest stands still
What could push us to this point?
The want to break at every joint?
Consider only what you say
And how you treated us each day
And maybe then you'll understand
Why we decided it was the end.

Today I just entered this poem into the American Library of Poetry in a contest for an opportunity to win $500!
I'm so excited and anxious at the same time 😵
Let me know in the comments if you think it has a chance of winning 😊
