Sleep is for the week!
And every day, I’m dead-walking.
If I could sleep for a whole week
Then maybe a day would be bearable.
The sun calls out from behind these blinds,
begging me to de-vampirize.
I work better at night,
there’s less noise to drown-
And actual thoughts to be found.
Dark shadows tattoo the crevices beneath my eyes
Friends always comment on the display
Little do they know it’s a battle.
Dark circles or sanity at bay.
If He won’t take me now, then I must stay.
I sleep and sleep and sleep and sleep,
Until I can just barely bear to be awake.
