Hanna Mae Mata Poet Free verse

It Has Always Been a Sad Night

You need to get out of bed. 
You need to get a life. 
They said.
Yes, I do need to get out of bed.
All these lying in bed without
Winking a damn sleep
Is mocking my sheets
To shame.
I do need to get out of it.
Also
My pillow 
Almost
Smells like the sea.
Salty drops of moisture
Wasting themselves in the sponge
That is my pillow.
And it’s like the sea to me.
The sea and its lust in drowning me to life.
The sea I always create.
The sea that dries up
Before the morning light.
