It's such a common display,
of my everyday dismay.
To curl up and cry,
just wishing I would die.

All I yearn for is to sleep.
To get away from those that make me weep.
Throw it all behind me,
sink to where no one can find me.

What was worn and tattered;
completely battered,
Can recover in the dark,
where no one can leave their mark.

Oh how sweet it is to get away,
from all the things that ruined the day.
Drifting into the black of night,
Weary of morning's vivid light.


(c) Justina Narine
Well.. at times when I feel depressed.. sleep is a wonderful escape for me... I get away from everything.. no one will bother me for hours & i don't really have dreams... even if i do, i can't seem to remember what they were about in the morning... & usually I feel better after sleeping, because it's as if my mental problems of the night washed away.. though they return in the coming day... do I long to sleep some weeks when things are just all wrong ::sighs:: when i feel things are bugging me too much, I wish for enternal sleep...
