Sleep, Let Me Go
Sleep, let me go.
Stop seducing me
into your bed.
Sleep, let me go.
I want to be awake
for my life,
imperfect as it is.
Sleep, let me go.
It’s been a nice
love affair
but I want to return
to my life.
I’m not your Persephone.
Our season is over.
Sleep, let me go.
I want to create,
not hibernate.
Sleep, let me go.
I am tired
(not for you)
of being your zombie.
Sleep, let me go.
i want my mornings
and afternoons
back.
Sleep, let me go.
Sleep, let me be.
