Hate To Fall Asleep - WY

I try

To see the great in everything I see

But I close my eyes

I grieve

The minutes that I try to keep

I count them on my fingers instead

I lift my head

I decide that this time I’m okay

And nights will never be as long as I made them to be

I never said I was a greatful friend

I cry them out

My tired eyes

Not strong enough to give

It all to you

I mean

The words I scream In blurry ears

The only thing I can not hear

I sleep

Enough to know I hate the dark

I count the nights I stay awake

I cry them out

My tired eyes

Not strong enough to give

It all to you

I keep my feet up in the bed

I hide my sad face in my hands

But it makes me smile

To think that people laugh at me when I can barely laugh at myself

I cry them out

My tired eyes

Not strong enough to give

It all to you
