Still asleep

How i feel right now

Good morning bed, good morning window.
Good morning door, good morning pillow.
How sweet it is to wake from a long sleep.
A rest that made it seem like dreams are to keep.
The kind of rest that you don't always get.
The kind of rest that makes you forget.
And in those initial moments of just waking.
Everything seems so right, the day's what you make it.
But soon this wears off and the memories rush in.
You remember the reason you cried yourself to sleep.
You remember the deadline, the problems to be fixed.
Then the day sets you to work, and you say goodbye to sleep.
The refuge from reality that warps truth and time.
The power of dreams that makes everything fine.

university life keeps me from a good nights sleep
this poem was a beautiful representation of that one small chance i or anyone else can get when we finally get a chance for a good rest.
life is so busy these days, we barely have time for a good sleep. its tiring.
you managed to capture a whole new and beautiful idea in a small poem which nicely portrayed that very idea.
wonderful stuff !!

I once wrote a song that described sleep as an escape from reality, and the same point is mentioned in much of my unpublished poetry. I'm always speaking of my depression. This reminds me of those darker days. But not in a bad way.

Nice work Avia! You have beautifully written about how the day gets sometimes. And those nights where u cry yourself to sleep. Very relatable. What I like best is the title of this poem.

Dreams are a source of escapism. My thoughts creep in my head even before I open my eyes after sleeping.
This poem is filled with facts. I loved it.

Sleep is...amazing. I got no words to explain it. Lol. Being deprived of sleep...I'm actually used to it...It doesn't really bother me though. And yes, of course, dreams while sleep are a great way to escape the reality and for once you get to experience a completely different feeling...A different world in all. Lovely write!
