I used to sleep to avoid my problems.
They showed up in the form of a endless purple tunnels and never ending downward stairs.
I used to sleep when I was tired.
Now it's only when I'm sad.
I used to sleep to avoid my feelings
Then they came back stronger.
I used to sleep to escape my trauma.
But then I relived it all at night.
See, I used to sleep to avoid my problems then they showed up in my dreams.
-I've been so scared to sleep-
