Writings

On the wings of sleep

Sometimes the only way

to really forget everything

is to go to sleep,

to fall so deep,

into a deep blue spring,

and, there, in peace, to stay.


And when the storms are thriving

into your soul of summer,

my compass shall guide through

and bring me close to you,

my heart will be the drummer

and love will be arriving.


Remember, do not go

where there is no way back!

I’m yours, you’re mine,

we’re s...

Sometimes the only way to really forget everything is to go to sleep. Yet in this house it was near impossible to do that.

My mother shouted from across the house for me to come and make macaroni and cheese for my little sister, Vianna, and as I stood up from my bed I glanced over to my window, my escape, my way out. I took a deep breath before snatching my small bag out of my dresser and hop...

Dreams

ā€œSometimes the only way to forget everything is to go to sleep.ā€ Grandma told me, her voice soft and whispery. She pushed a lock of chocolate brown hair off my forehead.


ā€œWhere is sleep?ā€ I asked, my curious eyes as wide as a doe.


She smiled softly. ā€œA place where dreams come true.ā€

I Need To Stop Thinking

I think of him every minute.

Will he talk to me today?

Finally ask the question?

Will he admit his feelings?

_I need to stop thinking! _

Sometimes the only way to really forget

Everything is to go to sleep,

But I can’t;

_I can’t sleep._

His face and eyes poison my mind,

Causing it to race and never settle down.

Sleep is like wood and my thoughts are like a raging fire;

Sleep will not come...

Sleep To Forget

"I think," She doesn't quite know how to say it. "I think, sometimes, the only way to really forget everything is to go to sleep."

He laid against the cool, black colored grass and closed his eyes. The foul scent of decay covering the trees...

Nightmares

Sometimes the only way to really forget everything is to go to sleep


That’s what I hope for

But every time I dream

It’s of the worries of my life

And the sadness of my thoughts


I always dream of the hands of grief that won’t ever let me go

I dream of the scream of anxiety that won’t give me relief

The problems of my daily life bleeding into my dreams

Constantly disturbing me when I’m supp...
