I’m afraid to sleep on earth
for the fear of having to fight again
battling for rest
only against myself
Past the stratosphere
no one can hear you dream
like they were trying all along
And I can’t either
which is what made it so appealing
but you can only wrestle with nothing up there
for so long
until the sky comes down again
