(562)▪︎[ No Sleeping … 7-8-2021 ]

[ As You Listen To The Loud Tik Tok ]
[ Of The Wall Clock ]

[ You Wish For One Single Night That You Could Be Like A Normal Person ]
[ You Would Want The Sleepy Version ]

[ The Kind That Could Go To Sleep Before 0500hrs In The Night ]
[ The Version Where You Would Not Have To Put Up A Fight ]

[ To Get A Night Of Deep ]
[ Sleep ]
[ Without Hearing A Single Peep ]

[ You Would Take Your Liquid Knock-Out Sleeping Med ]
[ Then You Just Wait Until It Messes With Your Head ]

[ It Is The Kind Of Med That Knocks You Senseless ]
[ But It Also Leaves You Completely Defenseless ]

[ Less Is More ]
[ & More Puts You Face Down On The Floor ]
[ Left To Be Victimized By Whomever Shall Come In That Door ]

[ You Had A Premonition Years Ago That He Was Destined To Do You Harm ]
[ That Was From Years Ago When He Attempted To Hurt Your Arm ]

[ He Cannot Dictate Whether You Take Your Sleep Med @ Night ]
[ You Cannot Control If He Wanted To Come In & Fight ]

[ To Protect Yourself From Death ]
[ You Would Fight Him Until Your Last Breath ]

[ So There Is Alot Of Things @ Night That Make You Worry ]
[ There Are Alot Of Things That Cause Sleep To Not Arrive In A Hurry ]

[ You Sometimes Have To Watch The Clock As 0100hrs, 0300hrs & 0400hrs Goes By ]
[ You Sit Or Lay There Wondering, “Why?” ]

[ Why Can’t You Be One Of Those Lucky Guys? ]
[ Who Can Go To Sleep, Just By Closing Their Eyes ]

[ Even When You Are Able To Fall Asleep, It Is Never Restful Or Good ]
[ You Guess The Word, “Sleep” In Your Brain Was Misunderstood ]

[ As You Sit For Awhile ]
[ You Look @ The Ceiling ]
[ Then You Look Down @ The Cold Tile ]

[ You Only Have The Power ]
[ To Sleep For Five Or Six Hours ]

[ When You Wake ]
[ You Feel Tired ]
[ & Your Muscles Ache ]

[ Those Are The Times When You Wish That You Had Never Closed Your Eyes In The First Place ]
[ Sometimes You Feel That All Of The Effort Is A Waste ]

[ You No Longer Like Going To Bed ]

(1149)▪︎[ A Deep Sleep … 9•11•2019 ]

[ Have You Ever Had One Of Those Days, Where You Just
Want To Go Back To Sleep? ]
[ Not A Nap ]
[ But One, Where You’re Under Really Deep ]

[ It Is Like You’re On The Sleep Elevator Where The Level Of
Deep Goes Up, As The Elevator Goes Down ]
[ You Go To The Level, Where There’s No Sound ]

[ You Pass The Level, Where You Dream ]
[ Go Past The Nightmares, That Make You Scream ]

[ Head Towards The Darkness, Where There’s No Light ]
[ Your Hearing Is Amazing ]
[ Compensating, Because You Have No More Sight ]

[ It’s Not Like, You’re Totally Blind ]
[ It’s So Dark ]
[ You See With Your Mind ]
[ You Thought You Heard A Bark ]
[ So You Check Your Behind ]

[ There’s Nothing There ]
[ Except, Cold Air ]

[ Don’t Be Scared Of The Dark, Because There Is Nothing
To Be Afraid Of ]
[ The Last Light You Had, Was From Way Up Above ]

[ You Shiver & The Cold Goes Down To The Bone ]
[ Do You Try To Anticipate, The Not Yet Known? ]

[ Where You Can’t Anticipate, What Goes On Here ]
[ Because, What Goes On Is Never Clear ]

[ You Come To A Room & You Find A Corner Where You Can Sit ]
[ When You Lose Your Sight, Do You Just Want To Quit? ]

[ You Have To Be Confident That You’ll Get Your Sight Back ]
[ So Don’t Worry, If All You Can See Is Black ]

~ Ka hopena ~

[  Mahalo E Ka hoa  ]
[  A hui hou  ]
[ Aloha  ]

[  Na  ]
