i never dream

I never dream
not because I’m anoneiric,
but simply because I don’t sleep.

For every time I wake from the night
these demons come to me, stronger.

But I’m still too tired to put up a fight
I wish I could stay in that slumber forever.

I never dream
and you wonder how so,
it’s simply because I don’t sleep.

They say it’s our brain’s imagination
leaving it for us to decipher.

I say it’s the devil’s whisper
slowly pulling me into it’s temptation.

I never dream
and no, I don’t have amnesia,
it’s simply because I don’t sleep.

I refuse to be stuck in this delusion,
where everything seems perfect and happy.

Because I know it’ll be the worst of addiction,
wanting to be forever in lethargy.
