Sleep and Sunrise

Sleep
Sleep damnit!
But the night is so beautiful.
The dark is so calming, 
why would I waste my soul in sleep when only in darkness I can truly be myself?
Why close my eyes, when for once, I can see...
I can Feel.
I can Be.
Please don't make me sleep.
For as soon as my eyes close, the sun will rise,
and all will be lost...
I will be Lost.
