SleepSleepSleepSleepSleepA Poem by BeckyJust another form of escapismAll I do is sleep.That's all. Sleeping helps me ignore everything. Helps me ignore the lack of everything, It distracts me from the hole in my chest. The one where a heart may have been at one point. Sleeping is my escape from the expectations. It's my temporary have from the world. I find refuge in sleeping. I wish I didn't. I wish I could just once face something head on. But I can't. I hide any way I know how. And sleep has become my favorite hiding place lately. So much so I forget what it is to be human sometimes. I forget what it is to be anything sometimes. No, not sometimes, Most of the time. If I hide long enough, Maybe the world will forget about me. And it's already starting. And while I sleep, I never even have to notice them forgetting me. So that's why I sleep. That's why all I do is sleep. That's all. © 2009 BeckyAuthor's Note
