Why Can't I Sleep Forever?

If I could sleep forever,

I would dream about the people I love,

I would do all the things I love to do,

If I could just close my eyes and keep them shut tight,

I would forget all my worries,

I would never have to deal with life again,

If I could go to dream land and never come back,

I wouldn’t come back,

I would stay there for eternity,

Why can’t I sleep forever,

Not die, but still not live,

Not cry, but still not smile,

Let me sleep, forever.

Recent poem but, something I often thought about at a younger age.

This is a deep & profound question, I am sure many of us have asked ourselves at one time or another.

You have made us aware that we are not alone.
