I’ve been thinking about
ways to tell you this.
But I guess there’s no
easy way to. So, I’m just
gonna go straight into it.
I. HATE. IT. HERE.
I don’t like living this
life anymore and if you still
don’t get why, I don’t think
there’s a point telling
you about it now.
So, without telling anyone,
I shut the windows so that
negativity doesn’t attack me again,
draw the curtains so that
I don’t see anymore light
to get jealous of,
and turn the music on.
For the only light that I see
is the light that I dream of.
Yeah, I live a better life in
my dreams. For the soft, cozy
pillow is the only place where
I can rest my head without
having to think twice.
The life outside my dreams
is messed up, and that’s also
the reason why I sleep
in my free time.
So, here’s a humble request.
If you ever walk into my room
again and find me fast asleep,
let me be. Know that I’m tired,
and like everyone else,
I need rest too. So, please,
don’t wake me up.
I just…
I just don’t wanna lose
my life again.

a little dramatic in wording
but, I genuinely feel this isn't 'just for poetic effect'
there's a sincerity, that comes across
and it's not desperation, from your side
or mere momentary sympathy, from mine;
there's a subtle middle - realm
of intuitively recognisable, relatability
in the message your poetry conveys,
so yes, do sleep and take your well earned rest
like, we all need to remind ourselves
we All, need
but when you wake-up, in your own sweet time
gives this F'd up world, another dose
of everything you've got
both barrels blazing, nothing held back
so your next dreams
will once again: be free of regret!
