Tired
Drooping eyelids
Quivering lips
I fall asleep
Even though I'm in chains
My weary head rests on your lap
I assure you
That I am a sound sleeper
So if something happens I won't wake
Tears fall from my eyes
Dripping onto you jean-clad legs
I am sorry that I feel this way
People don't hold me close
The only human life forms
That have loved me
Were in my family
And even then barely
So sorry for crying
Even whilst I'm *'asleep'
