Sleep

Sometimes when
You feel so
Depressed that
You have thoughts
That life is just not
Worth the struggle
Anymore
Too much to bear
And stare
Into the black hole
Not knowing what will
Be
On the other side
Wasted
Enervated
Jaded
Faded
And a gun in the mouth
A knife on the wrist
A pill overdose
A fatal car crash into a
Pole
won’t fill the
Hole
Not there yet.
To pull the trigger.
You want an escape
From it all.
Sleep
Will
Keep
You in
A death like trance.
Peace
Finally
You hope
unless the
sleep
creeps
into
a nightmare!
