Insomnia (Dear Sandman)

The saddest part of not being able to sleep at night is definitely the echo of my own voice, thoughts resonating in my skull about the things I should have done, the ones I shouldn't have, the things I'm afraid I might not be able to accomplish, and the shadow of the ones that seem inevitable. 

      My self, as a whole, is not ready to affront what its going to become. My deepest dreams are not a list of steps for me to read and follow, they write themselves as I breath the ink. I might erase some parts sometimes, or at least try to, but the thing about understanding oneself is: you cannot feel fulfilled until you're done with living. And I don't feel like I'm living. 

     Not as long as I can only talk to myself in a bustle.

     If it comes to a bright side of staying awake, I must say it feels warm being the only voice that can sometimes make me smile in absolute darkness. I don't know if I can fully trust in me, but I'm willing to try every night.

     Even so, I beg you for another voice, a silent one, who can bring me peace and a colorful dream at night. Don't get me wrong, I already have beautiful dreams at sunlight, shiny blue dreams that scare and amaze me.

     Please. Let me hear another voice, let me fall in love with it; bring me a blessing and I swear I will give my heart to keep it burning.
