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

"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

Nice. You go sleeping beauty. I really like how you're doing your fairy tale remix. Reminds me of the cheetah girls movie. I rather rescue myself that is what I'm hearing and I hope you hear me when I say "Awesome job! Well done! Bravo! Keep going with " "I'm losing my beauty sleep because of you!

No prince to wake me from this nightmare,

I enjoyed this poem...my favorite line :Trapped in a simple dream. It had a wonderful flow while I was reading it

I love it! At first, I thought it was going to be specifically about Sleeping Beauty, but it came off to me as feeling this everlasting dread without a prince to come save you. Beautiful!! :D

Angst ridden soulful work.

I like the dark nature you added to a children's tale
