Sleep

The day begins with pain

with troubles your mind stained 

Washing your face as you applied 

a hopeful grin- but all is vain

Another day of the same routine

smile, laugh and do it again.

keep composed don't let the pain

seep through your happy frame.

lift the cloak at the end of the day

and watch your hope decay

"Another day I lived" you say

"To death I go" as you lay

With your troubles you lie awake

darkness closing in your troubles fade

Another moment and your awake again

woes rushing like pouring rain

"one more" you say

facade another "happy day" 

yet hope, as strong as ever

a hope of sleep forever
