Rest

Now I lay me down to rest

I think about how I failed the test

Life tests me every day

From failure I can’t get away

It is the same thoughts every night

My mind is in a constant fight

To give up, to give in

I wish I could because I know I’ll never win

But that’s another failure of mine

Too chicken to end this daily grind

I muddle through daily tasks

Always wearing some sort of mask

No one knows the real me

Not even I can see

This limbo no one should endure

Melancholy has no cure

So when I put my head to rest

I can’t help but to think of all of life’s mess

I wonder if there’s anyone there

I wonder if anyone cares

I hope that I have a soul

And I’m not just an empty hole

I think about how life would be

And if anyone would really miss me

I shed a tear and close my eyes

I silently whisper my good byes

I hope death comes while I sleep

For this heartache I can no longer keep
