When night falls,
I get anxious.
I rush to bed
And close my eyes.
I close my eyes in bed...
And summon a deep slumber.
"Please I'd like to sleep forever,
It'll be great to wake up dead".
In the middle of the night
I sprang up.
My heart beats fast
I'm scared, but it's still dark.
Slowly, I lay in bed...
And summon the deepest deeper slumber
"Please I want to sleep forever
Don't want to see tomorrow, want to wake up dead."
Dawn gets closer,
I get anxious
I'm still in bed, awake, alive.
Ah!, I'll have to live- again...

I wrote this when I felt I was in my lowest state
I just wanted to give all up.
It's sad must at times even our family members and friends can't feel we're silently suffering, slowly dying inside.
In case you wanna talk to someone, anyone
I'll be right here...
