Jumping right into bed 

Falling deep into my mind 

Thoughts come rushing in 

How did I mess up today? 

How will I mess up tomorrow? 

Did my jokes make anyone laugh? 

Was I just annoying? 

To feel warmth, I cover myself in a blanket 

The pressure given reminds me of, 

The pressure to be the perfect student: 

Get the best grades,

Be at the top,

Never fall short,

Always have my work done,

Never fail a test

The perfect son: 

Always do what I'm told, 

Never be lazy, 

Always be happy

The perfect person: 

Always give what I can,

Never be selfish,

Put everyone before me

Fearing everyday 

That I won’t meet the standard 

I’ll only end up disappointing.

Start to listen to music 

Listening to the comforting words of my favorite artist 

From one of my favorite songs, Man on the Moon

Hearing the soothing sounds of the instruments,

With the amazing vocals 

Bringing peace of mind 

Where does it end 

As the night goes on, there is no telling 

Alone with my thoughts can be dangerous 

Finally able to sleep

Dreaming of a good future,

Where I have made everyone happy,

With my own goals accomplished. 

Waking up, forced to go back to the norm 

Back to the regular world 

Reaching the end to get back to the void
