I just want to sleep

02.00 am

It's always been so easy to do,

"Just close your eyes and let them shoo"

Yet what do I get? I have no clue

I leave my body and it turns blue

Fingers are attempting to suffocate

The breath halting itself by the gate

With deep bewilderment they create,

"Do you ever find planned death as great?"

Let my soul unwind, I say

My mind's wandered too far night and day

While my crippled toes, they anchor at the bay,

Hoping the little left sanity would stay

So I pretend to be asleep

While I'm trying to hush the creep

That shelters in my head, and muffle my weep

Yet what do I get this time to keep?

Because they bought my trust dirt cheap

Where I've put my faith in too deep

So, please? I deserve peace in my sleep

I just want to sleep
