Troubled Poppies- Endless Sleep
by HeavyHeartedandTheHardwire
When I sleep dreams please take head
I’m not accustomed to this speed
spliced with music art and weed
this rhyme a warning and a plead:
Many men look back at me
their eyes memorize silently
I trade in who I used to be
degenerating empathy.
Friends no more are there as well
waving constantly farewell
who they are now I can’t tell
heavy water stains still dwell.
Though no longer what you were
your name a prayer spoken unsure
Instills the fact there is no cure
clear direction- violent blur;
I am a man and I’m a boy
both utensil and a toy
immoral morals, high decoy
let flirt with death, young cold and coy..
So please I beg you, dreams of pain
let sleep consume me, peace sustain
let night air fill my broken brain
through the wind myself retrain
Let me wade in water deep,
let my faith forwardly leap
worry sow and disdaine reap
Troubled Poppies for Endless Sleep.
