Endless Night
February 21, 2013
Be quiet, let me sleep
I am done with the days toil,
The work, the competition, the promises
The noise, the laughter And the sympathy
Don't you feel my plight?
Won't you let me be?
Or will you continue with,
Your ununderstandable demands,
Until you are perfectly sated?
The trials, the torture, the doubts
The fear, the criticism and the hatred.
Your questions I haven't any answers to,
The pressure of being indebted
Leave me!
Let me succumb to the pleasures of sleep
That uninhibited, unfathomable spasm
Of unfeeling trance.
Let me go. Let me be.
