“Why do you sleep so much”

“I sleep when I’m stressed”
“I sleep when I’m depressed”
“I sleep when I’m mad”
“I sleep when I’m sad”
“I sleep when I worry”
“I sleep so everything is blurry”
“I sleep when I overthink”

“I sleep to hide from reality”
“I sleep because sleeping is the only way I feel safe, safe from myself, safe from my thoughts.”
“I sleep so I don’t have to feel”
“I sleep to hide the pain”

“I know I’ll never truly be deceased without hurting those that I love.” “So I sleep because it’s the closest I can get to death… to ... peace”
