My body is so tired I'm exhausted physically, mentally and emotionally. I just want a break Is that too much to ask? Apparently so, because My brain is wide awake And it wont let me sleep Get ****** brain. I'll just be tired and grumpy tomorrow And that way everyone will get ****** at me. Its not like you care is it? No. You dont care. You scream at me every time i eat something with sugar in it. You whisper horrible things in my ears when i'm alone. You convince me to hurt myself so i can feel something, after you've shut down all my other emotions. You make me fall for people too late and too often and not enough. You tell me i'm not enough. **** you I just want to sleep Stop putting these thoughts in my head and leave me alone.

**** you
I remember the days when I knew Or I thought I did everything I could do To make this something that involved me and you But my worst thoughts were the ones that got through And broken glass has been all that lies in my center view. I remember when I was a kid and nobody ever questioned a single thing that I did Now I'm the only kid That stares hard at my hands and ***** the joy out of the life I live. I was a care free heart devoted to the only Son That shines bright, the only holy one, But that was some time ago. Nowadays I am captured by my fear, and driven by making time slow. Oh God, You can take the decisions I've made, all the days all the nights, If it means that I have my heart back and can once more see the light, Because I'm tired of being so lost in my own past And all the things I wish I had. I spend all my days just wishing That I had a day where I'd stop giving away all I've given, But I don't care if life is something that keeps me driven, As long as I can remember that you're alive, you're risen. Tell my friends I love them And embrace them harder than I would've, Keep my heart close to yours, And help me find my way back to you And to those sunsets I fell in love with in Africa, Like the moon. Like the dust blowing in the distant breeze. Like the rain pattering down and flowing out in my streets. Let me fall in love with you all over again, Because those were my most joyful moments.

Nostalgia During a Late Night Study
12:00 AM This isn’t a game Your pain isn’t tame Not getting your sleep Now pull up your sheets 2:00 AM It’s late You should close your eyes Take the bait Got to sleep before the sunrise 3:00 AM This isn’t healthy You aren’t very stealthy But it isn’t too late Just close your eyes and then wait 4:00 AM It’s too late It must be fate But now you decide You will reside In your dreams 7:00 AM The alarm is blaring Your eyes are bloodshot Why are you staring You have to stop Three hours of sleep You should’ve counted sheep But now your beat Accept your feat You could’ve had more than Three hours of sleep
