Sleepwalker

by Sweetp - Sagittarius

I'm alone in this darkness,
Yet, I see a ray of light.
I walk forward,
but feel as if something is just not quite right.

It is not a comfortable feeling.
But there is no pain or sorrow.
It is complete numbness.
with no thoughts of tomorrow.

I try to sleep.
but sleep won't come.
I have lost my touch with darkness.
and I don't know where to retrieve it from.

I try to think of things.
but is just a hollow rattling in mind.
for thoughts are all rambled,
and not a single gentle one can i find.

I try to understand what I am feeling.
but understanding is knowing.
and I am completely shut out,
With no feelings left for showing.

I search for the answers,
but no one knows.
because I am weird to them.
and this is not the road I chose.

Somehow left on it.
trying to find my way out.
Learning from sadness and tears.
and coming to know all about.

The things no one should be faced with.
Yet, I have hidden my fears.
and somehow when I sleep, although dark.
Darkness is nowhere near.

For numbness does not appear.
when you sleep,
You are relieved of all earth,
and is a feeling you would like to keep.

but everytime you awake,
Light is around the corner
Holding on to the promises you make.
and you want darkness not to come again.

Yet, darkness is what you wish for,
when you pray at night,
you wish for more,
feelings so that you know you are alive.

Yet, you know you are alive.
Just stuck in endless time,
of earth faced problems, with nowhere to hide.
and people walking about with fake smiles.

I wish i knew what other people thought.
for I wish I could find a bottle of happiness.
but happiness can't be bought.
Yet, sadness can not either.

so stuck am I,
trying to find the answers.
and there is only one to find,
for the answer was within reach at all times.
