Sleep Now

by Jessie   Sep 22, 2010


How do I deal in a world of confusion,
with tears and hate and mind pollution.
With no ideas on finding a solution,
how can I live when there is no improvement?

How can I live when my mind is racing,
when my thoughts are cruel and my eyes are crazy,
when my fears are real and my home is waiting,
How can I fly when I don't know my placing.

How can I fly with this weight on my back,
when I'm shouting and crying, about to crack,
when confinement skills is my greatest lack,
but how can I sleep when I know they'll be back.

How can I sleep when when I'm scared of dreaming
when I shake and sweat and wake up screaming,
When the evil eyes I see look at me gleaming,
how do I deal in a world that's deceiving.
