Sleeping…

Sometimes, the only way to

really forget is to sleep.

This is why the addict got high.

She fucked guys for money.

She wanted to forget it all.

The family she didn’t have.

The life she didn’t want.


Sometimes, the only way to

really forget is to sleep.

This is why the old man smoked.

He didn’t have anything to lose.

He didn’t have money, nah.

He didn’t have a wife.


Sometimes, the only way to

really forget is to sleep…

This is why the wife stuck

a needle in her wrist.

forgot it all, until

she woke up.


Sometimes, the only way to

really forget is to sleep.

And this is why I tried once.

Not with a needle; with a knife.

This is why I still do shit.

Try to sleep it off.


But then I realized;

No, sleeping won’t work.

They weren’t talking about sleep.

Not the kind you do every night.


Nah… haha.

They were talking about the kind-

Where you don’t wake up.
