The Beauty Of Being Asleep
The beauty of being asleep
Is, it’s the only time I can’t feel pain
I know it’s dark
But when I’m awake I’m exhausted
My legs hurt
My head hurts
My throat hurts
It’s just _painful_
The beauty of being asleep
Is, you can find answers
Of what you want
And what you can create
And memories
You can never seem to recover
When you’re awake
The beauty of being asleep
Is, you can do what you want
Without someone standing behind you
Shaking her head
And without the sharp words ‘I’m not proud of you’
The beauty of being asleep
Is, you can uncover
Your true feelings
About anyone
There are so many things I’ve wanted to say
That I’ve only ever said
Asleep
