The World Asleep

She sleeps… I’m awake
Or perhaps it be the other
I sleep… need more for anyone to fake
For the world… did you once bother?

I hear my inner voice… did u not?
Those inner voice to only know too well
Never for another to hear one’s thought
Ha…. And to the world we sell

How did I become… you became?
Our roads to only you and I know how
Of secrets… perhaps of shame
If Gods… if myself… I bow

If you know… I do not than
If I knew… would you have known?
Standards to befriend
Simply a world from another… clone

I sleep…I’m awake
Have we all a dream or another?
She sleeps… did I fake?
This world… did you bother?
