Until I fall asleep.

Life is the nightmare, Id rather be sleep.

Have you ever had a nightmare 

you tried your hardest to escape

Your sweating bullets and drowning in tears 

You try your hardest to awake.

Then you wake up and FINALLY  it is all complete 

Your deep breath, a sigh of relief,

 

well in my world, its a little different

I try my hardest to stay to sleep 

Nightmares are heaven sent 

They are fake and cant hurt me

The darkness is real, 

the monsters aren't fake 

I'm sweating and drowning in tears

Even when I'm awake. 

I try my hardest to go to sleep, 

I'd rather have the nightmare 

Throw the boogeymen at me 

Let the monster in the closet give me a scare.  

Because life is the nightmare, 

no hero on a horse 

no conclusion that's fair 

Just a big a*s obstetrical course  

No nightmare can compare. 

So tell me your nightmare 

and Ill tell you my life story. 

Listen to it if you dare 

Because mine is very scary. 

The darkness is real 

and the monsters aren't fake 

sweating and in tears 

Put me to sleep for my sake 

Scared and hopeless 

cuts that are so deep 

Life is the nightmare 

Maybe I'm better off sleep. 

Author's Note

Just in case anybody is wondering, I am NOT suicidal. I literally mean laying in bed, closing my eyes and going to sleep.

I very well written poem that suprises you with the change in the middle. It was very strong and reaches out for you, very very sad. You have talent, I hope this will be true someday "Why should I want to fall asleep, when reality is better than my dreams." At least an awezome poem came out of it all! :)

Thank you very much Johanna, for your kind words. I appreciate it. My reality isn't great but its manageable now. I was going through a dark time when I wrote this. I still hope for things to get better. Im always looking and hoping for a better tomorrow.

This is terrorizing in many ways. It's sad and anybody going through the same might be ill or something. I mean insomnia is common nowadays. Very nicely penned, my dear. Would have been just better if you edited the spelling errors. :)

Yea I was kind of in a hurry and really upset when I wrote this. I wasn't really paying attention. Its this thing I do. When I'm angry, I just write and pay no attention to anything. Thank you tho. I appreciate the feedback. I really appreciate it.

I can relate, powerful well written piece :) x

[Destiny Nicole]

yea most people can relate. Its a scary thing when you realize how horrifying the world can be that being sleep is the only safe place you have. Its the only time I'm relaxed. It sucks though because you can sleep for 10 hours but it will only feel like a second. thank you for commenting . I really appreciate it.
