To Sleep

If hate was an emotion I would wear it to sleep Nights praying to God Just for my soul to keep When I close my eyes I'm in silence Please don't cry for me I know one day it will all be over Then I'll be free Getting mad at the creator For making my heart blood So many lies and misconceptions Just don't know what to believe The ones who say they love you You can't really see A tragedy at loving hard But God knows the misery When I go to sleep When I lay down I find rest No one to judge me If I'm wrong Only God knows But it's for me to stand tall And go hard was never afraid Never wear my heart on sleeve But played like a slave Is it where I'm from Only God can tell How come the harder I work It seems I catch more hell I try to stay true to others It's just my belief Treat others how I want So my faults I won't reap They say don't speak lies But it's all around me Yet humility builds a foundation For a home I won't see As for me It's to sleep
