Poetry

Sleep

They say it’s been a long night, and only time will tell if things will improve.

Oh, how do you wonder how much longer you can stay awake as your eyes begin to close?

You wonder what you will dream about, as reality has been a nightmare.

You want to sleep until you don’t have to worry no more.

No matter what, the same stuff keeps happening, and he chooses not to change; in the end, he still doesn’t care.

You had hopes you could escape, but it will all fall on your shoulders soon enough.

And you will never say everything because you learned that the ones who play the victim will always blame you, anyway.
