Sleepy

Youth is put to rest because of blame

And youth is forced to live up to trashy fame

We all walk this worn road, heads bowed

Accepted, though we should be screaming for our souls

Deccepted, we should be broke and beyond fix

Cry. We all wet our cheeks with rain

Rain. It never seems to cease its journey down

Walking. Forever into a murky and moving abyss

Blame. Point the finger at our problems

Problems. Are just an exuse to hold our head up high

When youth foiled a ladder out of the sky

we turned and heard god say

please little souls wait one more day

But one more day is the start of sin

And how can he taste such dirty morsels?

Creeping. We do here in the only shadows.

Shadows. Move upon and though our world each day

Days. Pass with each rise and fall.

Falling. Into a sleepy fight to stay alive.

Asleep. Dreaming I try to stay right here.

Let me seek comfort in such a place.

Sleepy. I drift away

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this when I was tired and it was really late at night. It's sort of being tired and questioning life literally.
