The Falling Stars

⋆𝘚𝘭𝘦𝘦𝘱-𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩⋆

My life's being drained.

My machine's starting to conk off.

Every movement of mine is pained.

I hide my yawns with cough.

And in my sleeplessness, I wonder the reason,

Why I yawn when I'm only barely awake?

Didn't I already have enough air to breathe?

Or is my body trying to keep me up for my sake?

Or perhaps is it a sign, for the places beyond this world,

That my soul is soon to travel.

In the few hours of sleep, in my bed's comfort,

A million mysteries are bound to unravel.

But it's strange, that all these journeys end,

With amnesia as the final treasure.

For once I'm awake, I somehow tend,

To forget what I should remember.

And my battery is draining faster lately,

Is that all the strength I've got?

Or is my soul's eagerly waiting,

To wander at my cost?

Or do I have to replace my batteries,

For running years together on clockwork?

I may have run them down to their lowest energies?

I may have made sleep my only escape from this world?

Because all the things I know here,

Are things I wish to forget.

And the things I dream, however so queer,

I wish I'd remember instead.

And I yawn yet again, I weaken more yet again,

My body's soon to slumber.

And I know if I'm asleep, my soul will escape,

And do of things I can only wonder.

But I have to stay up,

Even though I wish to stay low.

Because life's not a dream, reality is tough.

And expectations come with every tomorrow.

I'll have to remember how to live up to them.

Not how I lived in another realm.

But how I wish I could have eternally slept,

So I wouldn't have to live like I was dead.

Driven to the brink of madness, I fall.

The ground seems calm when seen from the stormy skies,

So let me be looked down on,

And I'll fall, as my soul will fly.

And though my body's in a sleep-like death; my soul's alive.
