Dear sleep,
Every night feels the same.
It's not your fault so I'll take the blame.
My body is tired; my mind keeps wandering.
My bed welcomes me with suicidal thoughts.
Hopelessness banks in my mind's vault.
And my eyes respond by gathering tears.
I gently raise a finger to wipe my tears of despair.
I'm scared of noise; I sometimes hold my breath.
Every creaking sound from my bed reminds me of death.
Oh sleep, save me!
I'm hurting.
