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 19/02/2022
