SLEEPLESS BEAUTY
we have all heard about that special book called sleeping beauty...
My story is a little different
My story begins....
where thoughts keep racing
heart keeps beating
not knowing how to turn off the 'off' switch
why cant it be easy
hearing the surroundings its all silent
you try close your eyes but it doesnt seem to work
Taking a little pill, it doesnt do the trick
the next day is like a hammering draining feeling
feeling frustrated, feeling uncertain
so much questions to ask yet no one who understands
You try something new, a drink or more
the pain seems to subside yet the world around is not disappearing
sitting quietly thoughts keep racing
rocking swiftly back and forth to a little beat
staring into a unknown world and thoughts collide
Life when all is alive and bright seems so dark
this feeling of not knowing when it will all go away
you ask yourself the same old questions
same routines, yet nothing seems helpful
talking helps to a degree then you leave
pulling at your hair as the voices appear
cant shout at them as others will see or hear
darkness seems to creep in more swifter
The burning feeling, the painful numbing matters
all these are just a complicated life of a sleepless beauty
Sleeping beauty who can go into a deep sleep, deeper and deeper she fades
lying there not noticing anything which surrounds her
why cant this mind just be like a sleeping beauty instead
the past is the past yet why does it always come back
scars are so deep they pierce into your heart
visually you seem ok but putting on that mask is easier
the talking fades, the people go, you left alone
left along to sit alone while your racing thoughts collide but dont subside
where is the off switch you ask
Life goes on, but the past stays
its hard when you see the marks you did
painful heartache stabbing deeper into your midst
becoming a zombie eating at your own immortal soul
getting older not wiser you see life passes by
life is short as the saying goes...
This sleepless beauty wants to conquer
defeated by being put in the dark
lights seem so bright yet are so dim
everything is getting quieter, its almost a new day
sitting staring, heart get slower
breathing gets heavy, eyes get heavier
yet this sleepless beauty is still fighting this switch
please go off, please shut off, stand by and go away
wanting to stand on a hill top, wanting to run away
wanting to just hide inside a cacoon where its cosy and snug
yet when a new day breaks you feel its not any easier
Life is bigger, life is harder, living is hard
Lets try help this sleepless beauty x
