*Because I don't know what else to say...... *

“Untitled” composed by Caitlin Sweeney

I long for a dreamless sleep-

for quiet-

a moment devoid of a ll I know and feel

where I can escape the trials of the day-

the events (“I’m tired of you making me feel bad about being myself”“your condition” “Dingdong” “essay due tomorrow” “labs only” “I think I’m gonna be sick”)

the people (“are you okay” “if you ever want to talk” “I know someone who went through the same thing” “So how are you feeling?”)

myself (“not another round” “how am I going to finish this work” “why won’t people just leave me alone” “bored lonely numb” “I can’t believe they haven’t called” “don’t think just live”)

to run to where my fears can’t haunt me

to be able to drown out the voices in my head with silence-

how I long for a dreamless sleep
