Every night
I lie in bed,
afraid
to close my eyes.
Afraid
for the next day
to come.
Every night
I lie in bed,
wishing
to sleep
and never
wake up.
Wishing
for my eyes to stay
closed forever
Alas,
the next day
will come.
It cannot be
stopped.
I will fall
asleep.
I will wake
up.
Every night
I lie in bed,
afraid
to close my eyes
because
I know
it will not be
an eternal slumber.
