When I am sleeping
I am the queen
Of all the land
And all the people are my pawns
My king does not exist
Merely just something the people have made up in their thoughts
This here is my land
And only mine
I will not let the negative views of the conscious world
Enter
This is my cotton candy and marshmallow
Kingdom
Where there are no adults to order me around
When I am here
There are no limits
To what I and my people cannot and can do

It's way way past what bedtime should be
What time even is that?
The neighborhood is quiet
The occasional drunk walks by
His path illuminated by crystals in the sky
I close my eyes and count imaginary sheep
One, two, three, four...
I'm bored. I sigh. I roll onto my front.
I wish I could shut down my thoughts
As easily as turning my laptop off.
Five, six, seven, eight...
My eyelids are dropping...
I groan. I reach to my bedside table.
I turn the alarm off.
Why do I always fall asleep
When it's time to wake up?

All morning I lie in my bed
Aware of my dread for the day ahead
Maybe if I close my eyes and fall asleep
will the day be lead away unsaid

It's hard not to
Fall in love with
someone
When
they see the mixed up parts of your
Soul.
When
they understand
the darkest and
dusties corners
of your mind.
When
It's four a.m.
and they call
Because they know you
not asleep.
