envy those who find sleep at night as I lay awake consumed by fright. Darkness swallows my sight which just might cause me to lose the little sanity I have left. I need insight on what's truly right as I wallow in self pity, controlled by the night. What a sight it is to see what has become of me, a girl so small in a world so large, staring at the stars through the window straight ahead as I lay down my head and beg for tranquil sleep to overwhelm what's left of me. I need sleep.

Sleep.
envy those who find sleep at night as I lay awake consumed by fright. Darkness swallows my sight which just might cause me to lose the little sanity I have left. I need insight on what's truly right as I wallow in self pity, controlled by the night. What a sight it is to see what has become of me, a girl so small in a world so large, staring at the stars through the window straight ahead as I lay down my head and beg for tranquil sleep to overwhelm what's left of me. I need sleep.
I hate this place I'm in.
