REM
The Sun intrudes into my bedroom,
Her rays glare into my face,
With brutal light, its intensity hard to take
I was sleepless and down, my body worn out,
Disgusted by the world's waking, the stirring sounds
I think there is a reason why sleep is so important
According to Dement, sleep debt accumulates
Our bodies are incredible but our abilities are not limitless
And it is because of school, social, silly stress that I am a grumpy mess
Tasks pile, worry weeds root deep, and from behind the cafe counter a smile still seeps
Operating my lips though neglecting my eyes
Just because it pays to be polite
But if we were all to be truthful
To lie would show the same sight
However one might underestimate the power of a single night
Never mind procrastination, when I close my eyes tight
And go to sleep
It seems the world stops for me
My brain settles into a state of peace
I can breathe with ease
Another day that’s been complete
My energy is restored,
My worries pile away with the dust bunnies on the floor
in the empty corner of the room
When my body says no more,
My will to wake is a flower, budding to bloom whilst I sleep
I´ve spent all the the last hour dreaming
Away from the weight of the world
Apart from its displeasures on my fabricated feathered wings like a beautiful bird
Vivid colors and easy breath, shadows of obligations dissipate
It is because of sleep that I survive
Steady heartbeat, I lay it all down for a night,
Refreshed mind, remembrance of the state of feeling alright
Beyond the black and white serif text of the pages of a book,
My body feels the sleep working,
Feels truth of the words emphasising the healing nature of rest
The Sun shines a little kinder when the morning is welcome
The moon waits for its turn and the stars are patient,
I aspire to mold myself into their image
I can handle it, the world I am ready to face
The space in this place, the open atmosphere is gentle
With my cumbersome gait in my waking state
After a period of time that is solely mine
Where I can dabble in nothingness, disregarding time
Wake up to restart where I left off
With a clear head, from a cozy bed, I too rise like the sun,
Once the glowing stars dim
Empowered from the needed night flight
I greet the day because of REM
