FOREVER SLEEP (A Dark Poem)

There is no satisfaction

To be derived when sleep eludes

And I tire of making the effort to even breathe

I smile at the sweet thought

Of the forever sleep of death

Wandering through life trying to hold back

Bleeding out my soul through a fake smile

No one can know

How the cold blackness advances in me

I smile at the sweet thought

Of the forever sleep of death

One more day to get through

I struggle to hide the ugly

I carry around with me

Madness is a dark ballet

In the back of my mind

I smile at the sweet thought

Of the forever sleep of death

Happiness is a high and when I crashed

It left me broken and twisted

An emotional cripple

Now I limp through life dragging

The battered, bloody remains of who I was

And I smile waiting for the lovely

Forever sleep of death...
