You avoid me like I’m carrying the most vicious disease ever known to mankind. You refuse to stay with me when I need you most. When I knock at your door, begging for you to help me, you turn away and didn’t even bother to ask if I’m okay.
For months, I’ve made the days into nights; nights into days. I’ve been screaming, pleading, praying for acceptance, the understanding that I too can change: that I too am capable of setting foot in newfound lands and embracing the familiarity of the unknown.
But months passed… you didn’t heed my calls. You ignored me like we never knew each other. You continued to be indifferent, spiteful of everything that I have to say about the need to breathe and take the time off the evils of the nights and the weary hearts of the days that linger on for no apparent reason except to annoy the person that I am not.
Why can’t you just let me in?
Why do you have to be so cruel and refuse my simple request of finding comfort in the solace of a soft mattress and warm blanket?
Oh sleep, why do you have to hate me this bad?
Answer me.
Please.
