I lay awake
Think of mistakes
My thoughts stay troubled
My eyes dilate
Problematic, can't shut off my mind
Insomniatic, can't close my eyes.
We all wake up in the middle of the night, perhaps after a night terror has given us a fright.
Life is a nightmare all in itself
We never know what to do with the cards we are dealt.
"It's easy," said no one ever.
No body stays to understand why
Whether it be friends that drift away or the ties that we sever.
There is a "lie" in every believe
There is an "end' in every friend.
There is no way to escape the "Real" in every reality, yet we pretend it's not there, because things make us happy. We see hope in life.
Yet how long does that feeling last when it comes to time?
We are all guilty of the good we have never done.
That's why we stay awake until the rise of the sun.
We all lead a lesser life but no one admits it until our time is done.
Take these thoughts and close your eyes.
Don't let these words corrupt your mind, for this was merely an attempt to rhyme.
