What Is Sleep

I wonder what is going on?

It's like the light is in my face,
yet something is calling from the 
abyss,
is it a part of me,
or is it my friend?

What could be lost in that cursed 
darkness...

But should I turn back?
Should I take the risk of becoming 
lost?

Yet again!

Is it my choice to go,
or to stay?

I wonder if others are willing...

For I've made my choice.

I'm entering the abyss yet again,
but not for myself.
