What's it like to sleep?
Just turning off sometime
You shrug like it's a given
Buzzing in the dark
So preoccupied
Relief feels so forbidden
Witching hour wanes
Every minute gains
An increasing of pressure
The next day will break
I'll just stay awake
Forever
Blushing sap of dawn
You'd think I would slow down
But this is unrelenting
The haze of the day
Puts me in the ground
But when I'm finally allowed it's back
Unending
Repeated grief in silence
Recalling older violence
Regrets and guilt and shame
Another night expires
For someone to admire
And yet still I feel
The same
I wish I could sleep
I just wish I could sleep
I wish I could sleep
I just wish I could sleep
I wish I could sleep
