A poem about my love for sleep. It is so very nice... Until I have to wake up.
My sleep is release,
Don't care about a thing.
No troubles in my dreams,
Like nothing's what it seems.
Energy to deal,
With this feeling of unreal.
No longer breaking up my seal,
To this world of mass appeal.
Unchanging are my thoughts,
When sleep arrives I am lost.
The sweet nothingness of me,
Fades away just like my dreams.
It seems I can't stay here,
In this overwhelming sneer.
A world of base careers,
Uncaring of my fears.
If only I could sleep,
Forever and so deep.
Don't need drugs to see,
All my insecurity.
Former thoughts turn to the latter,
Like I just don't seem to matter.
Can't feel this extra weight,
Until I sleep and it abates.
The world is off my shoulders,
Like I shattered that heavy burden.
But when my doze fades away,
I have to face another day.
Over and over I fall,
Into this hardened wall.
I can't break it late at night,
No matter how hard I fight.
Sleep fights back,
Like a mouse in a trap.
Won't let me have that sweet release,
Unless I beg for it on my knees.
The warmth of sleep is dangerous,
If I don't want to give it up.
It happens so rarely,
I hang onto it, barely.
But, alas, I must wake.
Every day I twist and shake.
Until my sleep abates,
And leaves me to my waking fate.
