SLEEP CYCLE
Wasting away, Letting all my Potential Soak in a pail of Procrastination. I spend the night Dreaming with my Eyes awake, Mind alseep Thanks to Silent lullabies The night sings. Darkness spreads It’s wings, a bouquet Made with feathers Of serenity Wraps it around me Takes me under And over my anxiety
I find the sun Rise waving the Night away And I find the wings Turn into talons Sharpened by guilt And misery, ghosts of All that time I kill, Afraid to face anyone, Afraid to do anything. The talons rip and haul At the comfort I Seek from ignoring My issues To wake up my mind And my soul. I lay there aching And crying Slowly falling asleep Watching the city wake up Now my eyes stay closed My body has shut down But my soul screams In my nightmare. Daydreams at night And nightmares at day The cycle goes on Becoming stronger Everytime. Leaving me weaker Everytime.
