Im awake
I want to drop
To sleep
To let go
Of this blinding world
And join those
Who lie in peace
Who live in cheerful dreams
Not the bitter irony of nightmares
Not the world that haunts my moves
To let go, be happy
To sleep, be free
For all I protest
Protest with body, heart and mind
I am caught
I am choked
In wakefulness
Your wakefulness
You filled me with thoughts that block my sleep
So I lie awake
Alone
