I
Sleep
And
Remain
Tired

I sleep
To forget
All the
Awful things
They say

I hug the
Bear you gave
Me and I
Ashamedly let my
Tears rain down

Only weaklings cry says
Too proud inner voice
But does that voice
Know that I am
Too tired to care?

My dreams do not aid
Me in my search for
Peace tonight. And I fear
I will be awake till
Dawn, wandering my restless mind
Screaming ‘peace I cannot find’

This too skinny weakling
Has a proud mind
That does not care
That I still remain
Much, much too tired

I hug the
Bear you gave
Me and I
Ashamedly let my
Tears rain down

I sleep
And Hope
I forget
What they
Said tonight

I
Sleep
And
Remain
Exhausted

Hey, it's been a while...

I could really relate to this. Except usually I don't actually get the sleep...
Normally, I'd say it was lengthy, but I'd be totally wrong. Good, concise use of words.

There is power in the pen.

Ha! I liked they way you started this out..

Why did you use tired in the first one and exhausted in the last?

Like most of the things I write, it's a story, or a process of emotions, if you will.

Like, the longer something is able to bother you, the more drained, the more defeated you become.

Thanks, ya'll.
