Sleeping awake

Night time

Time for battle

for my right of slumber

I’m thinking I’m mental

while for sleep I hunger

Why must I struggle

against the river

The river of thought eternal

I wish to sleep forever

What is this hell?

why can’t I have the hours?

What is heaven’s level?

why can’t I dream the picture?

And when I reach my goal

I soon wake from night terrors

The sounds of my mind like a drum role

makes me want to point a gun and pull the trigger

Morning

I feel like I’m drowning

I feel the pressure on my body

The alarm clock is buzzing

But I feel much to heavy

Work, school, family are calling

But I am no where near ready

Daybreak is now arriving

To here where I lay

It all feels disappointing

The loop of life on replay

I want to reach the ending

Set destination to the finales

But it’s about time I start realizing

There is more than this sad symphony

There is more than just quitting

Than picking the bed as my place of stay

It’s time to start with the ass kickings

Of all the problems bugging me

All it takes is two small things

Get out of bed with glee

And to enter it without focus on regretting
