tired of sleeping

while my heart rate is slowing down

and my breaths are becoming a constant string of lightness

there is someone out there wishing their reality

was just one big dream.

there are people who get stiff, perturbed slumber.

uneasy, woolly, stormy slumber.

i'm trying so hard but i can't even close my eyes slumber.

my eyes are going red but i don't want to fall into darkness slumber.

and then there's bleak, tired slumber.

dejectedly desperate despairing slumber.

i'm not okay and i'm going to sleep it off slumber.

i don't ever want to wake up again slumber.

but you know that warm, limpid slumber?

that everflowing abounding embracing slumber.

the everything is alright slumber.

i'm happy and that's all there is slumber.

i know that one day, you will get that slumber.

it'll feel like you've been sleeping your whole life,

but i'm asking you to awaken, and live like

you're on top of the world created by your subconscious

with the exception that your heart is pounding, and that this,

this is your reality.
