Sleep

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
