all i want to do is sleep. just for one night. to sleep tight, sleep soundly in my bed with no thoughts running rampid in my head. i just want to sleep. I wish i could lay my head down with dreams that are good. not dreams that turn into nightmares and into my head they burn. waking up me at midnight, i wish i could fight for the sleep i lack. to sleep softly in the deep dark black. things get better after a good night’s sleep. i wrote in my last and final letter, about all the nights i never slept staying awake, just sitting there and wept.

-All I Want-
all i want to do is sleep. just for one night. to sleep tight, sleep soundly in my bed with no thoughts running rampid in my head. i just want to sleep. I wish i could lay my head down with dreams that are good. not dreams that turn into nightmares and into my head they burn. waking up me at midnight, i wish i could fight for the sleep i lack. to sleep softly in the deep dark black. things get better after a good night’s sleep. i wrote in my last and final letter, about all the nights i never slept staying awake, just sitting there and wept.
