Sleep

All I want to do is sleep

Eat 

All I want to do is eat

Sleep Eat Repeat

A never-ending cycle

I used to want to have fun

Now all I want to do is sleep

I used to want to hang out with friends

Now all I want to do is eat

I used to feel loved and accepted

Now all I feel is worthless and excluded

Trapped in a never-ending cycle

Sleep eat repeat

I used to want to be around people all the time

Now I only want to be alone

I used to be filled with light 

Now the light has gone out

Sleep eat repeat

A never-ending cycle          

I used to love others and myself

Now the only thing I love is sleep

I used to be energetic

Now my battery is running low 

You’re fine 

You’re fine 

I tell myself a good day will come

It never has

Sleep eat repeat

Never-ending

Some days I wish I could go to sleep and never wake up

Sleep

Eat 

Repeat

I wrote this piece in thinking of someone very close to me that I have lost. That time after the loss had a great impact on me and caused me to go through a period where I had lost some of my light. This piece reflects many of my feelings at the time.
