Sleep Is For Dreamers
Standing on this beach whenever I'm feeling lonesome. Watching all these people be happy and thinking how they do it. Maybe they're faking it because that's the only way they know how to be happy.
How do people go on living their lives knowing they're going to die?
I wonder why I'm so cynical, probably because it's been a shitty week. Or maybe I'm just like this. I heard they used to put people in asylums for being cynical. Maybe I belong there because I haven't slept in three days.
Still watching all these people walk by pretending to be happy. Watching him and her be happy. Watching those other people laugh. Watching him rip me open from the inside. Pretending it doesn't hurt when it feels like I'm internally bleeding. I'll cough up his blood until I'm at my funeral.

Ah, insomnia. I hate it. Good luck.
People fake their ways through life. It's how society works. Teens are pretending they know what the want to do with their lives or get made fun of if they don't. Adults pretend they're not lost. Old people pretend that they're not gonna die. Tortured souls pretend they're happy, ect. It's just makes things easier, pretending.
Anyways, good luck. I hope things get better. Nice write.
