I Want To Sleep – Poem

is about moody lives.

I want to sleep

Outside the hollow

Of empty promises to me

Idealizing the show

For being someone’s sweet

In past romances

I shouldn’t keep

But cannot throw away in morrow

It’s a dead-end fight

For letting go

The illusionary freedom

That taught my soul

There was unfollow

Outside my mind

I want to sleep

With the blindfold

But I couldn’t do it

And walked away

In distant sorrow

To clean my energy in vain

Time heals, wise people say

It’s all about the lies that stay

There will be an ending

Of betrayal’s borrow

It’s not like written in the stars above

And my eyes are widely open

That people prefer to live in solitude

Then be responsible for another moron

I want to sleep

But it isn’t possible

To close the eyes of someone’s dreams

Lies. Everyone knows and tells them, and wants to believe there is a truth’s seed in lying. Unfortunately, only a few brave hearts tell the truth to others and got shot off society’s living norms. Falseness is all over the world and most people want to sleep then meet the face-to-face reality that everyone is egocentric and occupied with their dramas. Recently, I had that urge too because my human heart sometimes can’t take the pain anymore.

Even so, I keep moving forward with my bloody, teary, and slow steps.

Maybe it’s easier to live in beautiful lies. But, there is always the little heart’s voice that makes everyone think about their dreams one way or another. It can’t be escaped. As soon as that is understood, people will open their eyes to life’s beauty. Moments never reply and decisions should be fast.

As you know, today people are here, and tomorrow they may not be alive anymore.

I traveled today to a calm place and felt relaxed inside, accepting my current reality once again because I allowed myself to make some unrealistic illusions.  It was an intoxicating trip and my mind peace became stable. Now my dream shine and I want to catch them with a rational and realistic approach.

My wishes about things that are out of my control and whether they may happen or not.  Sometimes I want to sleep and dream about a different and beautiful reality for myself.
