I envy those who sleep soundly Not just every now and then But every single night No this doesn’t include babies, furry or otherwise Not the elderly either Just your basic average human just trying to get by life
The 14 year old who dreams of becoming a doctor so that he save his ailing sister from leukemia
The teacher who has to grade papers every single night while keeping an eye on a ADHD riddled son while a nasty storm brews outside
The weary mechanic who works double shifts to make ends meet and wonder if his doll-like wife will ever make it out of the oncology unit
The fashion intern who works for nothing only to escape and unsuccessfully cover up the abuse she faces at home
The minimum wage young man who flips burgers and occasionally over salts the fries who comes to work with a fake smile when his best friend hasn’t been seen since last week
The overworked doctor who continues to save lives with a steady hand and collected mind even though he just buried his son yesterday
The short frumpy lunch lady that everyone makes fun of at school who cant keep it together because her house is about to be repossessed and wonders where shell be sleeping at night
The bold smiling five year old who is quietly suffering from Alopecia and accidently pats her head in the hopes that whiteish peach fuzz will grow on top
The delinquent that is in detention almost every day of the year not because he a trouble maker but because he his trying to complete homework since it is near impossible with an alcoholic mom who is in charge of everything
The large ***** who everyone continues to harass because she was born with hirsutism and differently colored eyes
People don’t ask for trouble nor can they always escape it The questions, raised brows and unwanted attention do not falter Hope begins to evaporate faster then water I think the absolute worst is when we begin to overthink and replay all of our problems right before sleep sets is when the eyes beg for closure but the mind is still at unease.
