Thorny Poetry - 48. Five Steps
step one
it’s not that i can’t sleep
i just don’t want to go to bed
i’d rather sleep all day than
close my eyes at night
step two
i hide away
in made up worlds
in computer games
step three
i realise
that thing i was looking forward to
no longer fills me with excitement
instead i feel
cold, blank, disappointed
step four
it gets so dark
nothing feels meaningful
every action is pointless and dull
step five
i wish i were somewhere else
someone else
so i could go to sleep and
never wake up
It always takes me a little while before I realise I'm depressed.
