I feel like all I want to do is sleep.
But the thing is, I'm not tired.
I don't have a reason to be.
But with the way life can be sometimes,
It just hurts so much to stay awake
And all you want to do is get away from the pain,
Away from the people who hurt you
And make your life a living hell.
All you want to do is lay on your back and close your eyes
And dream of happy images
Where people love you and accept you
And you'd mean something for who you are
Living in a world untouched.
Because you sure won't receive any of that in reality.

Its sadly super true.

But you know what makes it worse?

When you're excited to just head for bed and you sleep and either:

A) You have a bad dream for you are unable to escape the pain both asleep or awake

or

B) You have an amazing dream that when you wake it, you know it'll never come true
