Sleeping is my fire escape.
Drown me in warm waves of nevermore
I sleep to escape the notion that my coping
Mechanisms miss the mark
I sleep to pretend that I am the captain of my own ship
So drown me in the waves
Allow me to capsize and with eyes wide open tackle fear
And allow the water’s will to overpower my own
With eyes painting the landscape of my closed lids
I dream of damsels and dances with debutantes
And heroic acts
While I sleep
