I want to sleep
And never wake up.
Most days.
Some days?
A lot of days.
I want peace.
Of mind.
Of body.
Of spirit.
Of every fucking thing.
Which is —
Unattainable.
Unaccountable.
Unachievable.
At least for now.
I don’t want dreams.
Nightmare hellscapes.
Unholy disturbances.
Raging disruptions.
Evil corruptions.
I want to sleep
And never wake up.
Slip off into forever
Without an end
And without a guide.
I want to rest.
Finally.
Forever.
Return to the stars,
Recycle my energy.
It will happen,
Just not today.
For tonight I sleep,
Fitfully, restlessly.
Temporarily.
