Sleep what is it
Is it getting a break from your mind
Or something else
How do you get Sleep
By taking pills, by relaxing and meditation
Or do you need pills to get you to sleep
Pills that are addictive but now the question is
Do they help
Most people would say yes it does
But for me no they don't
Is it the environment you're in
Nightmares keep you up and not wanting sleep
However no one can truly understand sleep
I was told if you eat you get Sleep
However that is not the case
Sleep cannot be defined by a label
Or medication
I don't know what is sleep but what I do know
Is that I can not get any, since seeing death
I close my eyes and I see my dad
He is not alive
He is not breathing
He is dead in his bed
My Nightmares keep me awake
When you are young and see someone like that in a bed
You ask yourself what could you have done better but
No one could ever understand what you have gone through
And what you are still going through
