Go to sleep and all your wishes will come true they say
I tried to sleep but was dismayed
I couldn’t sleep, well, not that deep
I was full of excited energy, my essence wanted to play
I am sleepy now, tired, and woeful that I didn’t sleep
I hope my wishes aren’t lost, wiped away by a sweep
They’ll try again, they always say
To get me back to where I belong
But I am tired of them repeating, the same old song
My soul cries loudly and my essence is dying
It’s dying of many broken hearts
For I love quite deep and I love a lot
Yet I feel forgotten and left to rot
I need their warm embrace
I don’t need false promises wrapped in pretty lace
