Untitled

I just want to fall asleep,

to be able to do that,

without the help of drugs

or extreme exhaustion.

To get rid of the deep set bruises

beneath my eyes,

and the things that i keep seeing.

So many images, and figures drifting in and out

of my consciousness.

Why can't i just fall asleep,

and not feel all of this pain

and just not feel at all?

Why can't i just make it stop?

Just please make it stop.
