No Sleep

The delightful embrace Of a blanket to your face Wrapping around your body Like a nice melody The softness of the bed Takes away your dread, Keeps you in a state of peace In a proper release The pillow is soft and plump, Making you want to jump In joy and ecstasy Into your own land of fantasy Falling into a dream Makes you want to scream In delight and endless pleasure, Happy in a perfect measure Or at least, it would be nice But the world is very vice Your body cannot relax, Your mind cannot be lax The demons keep you close And stick like a thorn on a rose Fallen deep into the bush You can never feel the rush As you’re trapped in the thrush Between the worlds, inside the horrible mush Written on October 30, 2020
