Sleeping To Keep Awake
Many times I wish I could just fall asleep
Not so often anymore
One’s sanity a never hope to keep
How is living a life to live for?
Did nightmares kept me awake?
Or perhaps kept me from living…
How much more stirring and shake
Need I encounter just for sleeping…?
The older I get, the younger I became
Because I have questions I no longer have answers
To only witness how you and I maintain
Isn’t it just you to me and I to you who bothers?
I really want to sleep… peacefully
I really want to live… like a dream
I know its not happening regardlessly
Just like I know no one says what they mean
How much more lesser can it perhaps be for?
When I can for once… peacefully sleep
A lasting ever… for that nevermore
I really admire my passion that only I get to keep
