Why Sleep

Why sleep

When you can rewatch all your problems on repeat

But it’s only jealousy that reaps defeat

For you can’t change what’s happened only what’s next

even then it’s all a test

To find the best and lay your nest

Start a name and end the game

Before you die, live out the fame

Before the light is drawn from the flame

Down-tread your downfalls

Get on the horse that led you here

For gut guidance has a way of being right

Pushing beyond logic with thoughts in the night

Everyone you’ve lost helps you on your way

And they don’t sleep during the night or day

Call for them in anyway, you don’t even have to pray

Praying has never helped for me

Just leaves me with insecurities

Never one for uniformity

Or the thought of them recording me

Each day is a chore and that bothers me

This soup bowl of hypocrisy swallows me
