Leave Me Asleep

A poem

Photo by Andalucía Andaluía on Unsplash

Why would I want to be awake, when asleep means less alone, and awake means everyone wishing I was asleep?

Why would I want to leave my dreams, full of beautiful lies? So I can lie beautifully that the reality of my awake mind isn't so ugly?

Why would I want to be awake, when being awake feels like being alive and being alive feels like wanting to die?
