Notes About The Poem
I think that there is a lot of deep pain in the world. And at this moment my own depression is Contributing to my thoughts. There are medications to help but there are just Some pain that there is no help for.

The long sleep

Now is the time I think I should close my eyes
And sleep for good.

The pain I'm in is buried deep so I feel I need
Never ending sleep.

I'm scared I am not brave but to have this sleep
I will be saved

To lie down and close my eyes would be the time 
All my pain dies. 

Please don't worry I did my best but no pain now
And I'm at rest.
