If you have enemies.
If you live in a constant state of fear,
or you live in fear of state.
One day you wake up and realize
nothing you were promised was delivered
and resent the wealth of the few.
Sleep with the lights on.
If you live in fear of guns because
you don’t fit the status quo.
Sometimes you have fits of anxiety,
and other times you have sudden
jumps in identity and everything
makes sense because you’ve
stopped trying to analyze the chaos.
Start searching again.
Sleep with the lights on.
If you can’t breathe and can’t accept
that this is happening, although ****
it’s so real, and all the pain feels real,
and the hunger feels real,
and the sickness feels real,
and you may sleep many days at a time to forget.
Sleep with the lights on.
