Sleep

I am tired and want to go to bed
But I am too afraid of what will happen
I have no control of what I will discover
Only in sleep is the full truth revealed
Only then do I realize how badly I have failed
Only then I cannot lie to my self
Only then I am truly scared
But only then after the truths have been revealed
I am truly comfortable
I am truly happy and don't want to go back to the real world
Then like all good things do
It ends
I wake up to this fake light, and forced to live through this true darkness
Left to wait again for the moment when I can close my eyes
and let the true light shine
