Sleep

I wish sleep would engulf my body in a sweet embrace
I wish I never stayed up so late
The time ticks by as quickly as could be
And I'm still here hoping for the nothingness to come that we call rest.
The days fly past and nothing changes,
I still lay up watching the time go by aimlessly
Sleep feels more like an escape,
A escape I cannot have because I'm not able
To rest as sweetly as the people who live
My mind races
Everything goes by faster than a racecar eager to win
And I feel like I'm losing the race and slowly draining.
