Sleepless Beauty

Why can't Sleeping Beauty sleep?

I lay here night after night,
tossing and turning
wondering if I should throw it all away,
and  throw in the towel?
or should I stay?
and just turn the other cheek?
while pretending like I don't see
whats happening right in front of me
I lay here thinking about the good times,
and the bad times,

I'm losing my beauty sleep because of you!

No prince to wake me from this nightmare,
no kiss to bring me back to life
without you I'm dead inside
trapped in a simple dream

Amazing! This could be one of my favorite pieces of poetry. It was well written and beautiful! I can easily relate to this and it is full of heartahce. The title was clever as well. I am shelving this one

The dreams you wish you could wake up from and you find out that they are not dreams at all.. Beautiful!

This is a very different version of sleeping beauty but a version that so many experience. I enjoyed this piece nice use of words.

The title is so wonderfully ironic. In this story the beauty is under the curse of depression and there is no prince to save her. What a wonderful, and new way to present depression.
