I’ll do it
You can’t stop me

I’m going to end my pain
I’m going to end my torment

It’s all going away
This time

I lay my head down
Knowing it will all go away

This is my escape
My way to end the torture

It is the end of it all
Until day breaks yet again

Wow, you had me worried there...may day keep breaking!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Sleep a practice of death, but tomorrow is, well, another day. Enjoyed.

I wish I could sleep through some things. I really like the irony in this!

You pulled this one out of the
fieriest nightmare, didn't you...?

I thought, for just a sec.  that I was gonna
have to call 911....but,  what you write is
true...sometimes,  sleep is all we feel
we have to take away pain or anxiety of a
moment that really bears hard down upon us....

Intriguing write, Maverick Wolf.  Enjoyed this piece.  It seems once one has made up their mind about something nothing you could ever do or say could change it.  Just some thoughts.

All writing comes
by the grace of God.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh my gosh, you too startled me and sent a siver up my spine but I'm glad in the end it all settled down, you always know how to grab everyone with words, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jason, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Cheap shot I have to say. Way to keep it safe with the last line... or at least change it enough so it doesn't get thrown off the forums?

I'm always stopped. My brain won't shut down...funny how we hate to sleep as kids, then as adults we cherish it. Anyhow, nice one.
