SLEEP

So tired

So deeply tired

Not physically, only mentally

It feels like my mind is preparing to shut down, to sleep

And I can only hope it's forever

But I know it's not my time yet

I still have a lot to do

I know sleeping won't help anymore

Not like it used to

It's become something I fear, rather than something I enjoy

It's become something I need to do in order to keep living

But I've grown tired of even sleep

Because it's just a reminder of how much I still need to do

But I know I can't avoid those things forever

Even if I try to sleep them away.
