sleep

every night I go to bed praying sleep will let me stay awake so I can fantasize about the surprises and unexpected adventures tomorrow may bring.so I can listen to the music that makes me laugh, and also the music that makes me cry. so I can think of the people who make me happy, and confident, and fortunate. so I can write letters and read books and look at the moon. And plan the future. But every night I give in.
every night it is my enemy, and every night it is my lover. I'll never be able to resist sleep.
