Webs To Unwind

Let me sleep, let me take a few winks I apologize but silence bores me while people ignore me I might as well be dust in the wind to them or a ghost in a shell can you hear my ghostly yell can't you tell that I'm haunted, a little distraught and are you able to see straight through me These webs that spin, cocooning me as well as the world disturbs me I struggle to find my purpose is it really worth it This is a messed up place why should I bother to find where I land this is a place I cannot stand And it seems I'm made of glass I break easy I check the mirror constantly just to see if I'm human to see if my skin isn't porcelain or maybe a cyborg in disguise Maybe I just need to fall asleep for awhile and hopefully convert these inaudible questions into a solved puzzle so I can live, so I can learn So let me close my eyes, sleep for awhile and untangle these webs to unwind these long lines of compromise
