I fear that if I close my eyes, death will strangle me as I sleep. I fear that dreams are no longer meant for escape, but for revealing our deepest secrets to our worst enemy. eyelids, the blinds to these cracked windows, shut out reality, but release a monster inside me. sleep. why sleep? then open your eyes. but why? there is no way to escape. so just blink

blink.
I fear that if I close my eyes, death will strangle me as I sleep. I fear that dreams are no longer meant for escape, but for revealing our deepest secrets to our worst enemy. eyelids, the blinds to these cracked windows, shut out reality, but release a monster inside me. sleep. why sleep? then open your eyes. but why? there is no way to escape. so just blink
