People tell me to sleep
"Sleeps important" "Go to sleep"
They say it as if it's easy and they're right
You just lay there and close your eyes and you dream
You lay there not moving, powerless, unable to do anything
All you can do is endure the pain and horror as you watch your demons tear you to shreds
You watch as all your loved ones die in front of you
Unable to do a single thing except scream and beg for it all to stop
And people say dreams are nothing but thoughts
That's the scary part
It's a terrible thought
