Eternal Sleep
My body is tired, in need of rest
All these late nights are taking its toll
And as my head finally hits the pillow
I call for the reaper to claim my soul
Leave me in this free world to dream
Because right now it beats my reality
No alarm clock to scream at me to wake
No more pain of seeing the next day
And as I lay in my eternal sleep
I hope that you will still remember me
Please don’t cry for me, don’t say a thing
For you know in fate, this was meant to be
All these late nights are taking its toll
And as my head finally hits the pillow
I call for the reaper to claim my soul
Leave me in this free world to dream
Because right now it beats my reality
No alarm clock to scream at me to wake
No more pain of seeing the next day
And as I lay in my eternal sleep
I hope that you will still remember me
Please don’t cry for me, don’t say a thing
For you know in fate, this was meant to be

Appreciate the positive feedback! Yes, it is quite sad.... I hate myself for having thoughts like these on a constant basis.... thanks though!

I feel like everyone in this world has a little part of them who wants "the reaper to claim my soul" and be able to dream for eternity when we fall asleep each night. A little part of me wishes everything that this world consists of--all the rules of how everything SHOULD be. Just wish I could see the world as I've always dreamt.

Indeed, everyone has their moments for sure. When you just want to give in and find safety behind closed eyes, forever dreaming. Thank you.
