Sleepless

I wanna sleep without the falling,
dream without the fight.
Just one night without the running,
just one breath of quiet light.

I wanna sleep without the shadows,
dream without the weight.
One still night without the echoes,
a moment free from fate.

I wanna sleep without the drowning,
dream without the scream.
One short night without the chasing,
Just one hour without the dream.

I wanna sleep without resistance,
dream without a war.
One night that doesn’t hurt to enter,
no fear behind the door.

I wanna sleep without surrender,
dream and still survive.
One night, no brace for impact,
just breathe and feel alive.

I wanna heal without the hurting,
grow beyond the past.

I wanna rest without the breaking,
live without the fear.
