Amaze me
You think I escape
I promise, you’re wrong
This, devil red, tape
More thick than it’s long
When my lids flutter
In slumber, I drift
As with a stutter
The problem won’t lift
The horror still plays
My mind will not sleep
My conscious obeys
You call this my “peak”
If only you knew
The depth of my pain
Stronger than glue
All fears still remain
So when I choose sleep
You’ll claim that I’m lazy
Could you be less deep???
That would amaze me
