The woman downstairs is angry She asks: Why do you shut the stars out and not let the moonlight in? I think, but not say: Listen ***** the night is bright and bustling And I just want to ******* sleep I want to forget the pleasantries and just heal From the day, the week, the year Of this seemingly inconvenient life of mine Hating yourself is easier in the dark Being hopeful seems easier when nobody is looking I just want to ******* sleep
