Scarlet ..... - Sleep

sleep
ha very funny
they say you need it
need it to survive
ha I disagree
for I have not truly slept in years
and I am still alive
if you call my existence living
which most would not
for I only exist
I do not live
therefore I don’t need to sleep
for I am not able to sleep
truly sleep
for true sleep is when you rest your head
when your mind becomes idle
an idle mind is one at rest
for it has no worries
only few can reach an idle mind when they try to rest
we all start off with an idle mind
as a child
but our mind becomes corrupted
infested
infested by reality
the problems that surround us
only those who ignore the problems
continue to have an idle mind
