everyone says "you need to sleep" and i always reply "but i cannot sleep" everyone says "then go see the doctors" i tell these doctors "i cannot sleep" the doctors say "here take these pills" i ask them "why" they say "for your insomnia" i say "okay" i take these pills they dont work everyone that is the doctors the people in the streets those who mean to help and those who mean to harm ask "why do they not work we see you sleeping every night?" and i reply "i never once said i was not sleeping i said i cannot sleep" they ask "why not" i reply for one last time to tell them my reason why "because when i fall asleep and then i start to dream i am not like you i should tell you now for when everyone dreams they are at peace not me my dreams i vivid i feel each part the sights, the smells, the sounds, the heat and the cold the soft and the rough and everything inbetween, i taste the tastes it all feels real my dreams arent good these are not nightmares these are far far worse i dream of death i dream of pain i dream of lonelyness i dream of wastlands i dream of fire i dream of rain and falling stars i dream of blood and bloody battles i dream of wars that end this earth i dream of sorrow i dream of tommorow" i finish speaking with a tear the only show of my fear these dreams they always haunt me as i wake and in my sleep forever without escape until i love and love finds me i can not fall asleep
