Another Day Of Life

The darkness of the night covers thy eyes.
Sadness expresses its true nature throughout thy lies.
Life is scary, it’s a game, playing this game every day.
To lie down and close thy eyes and slowly pray.
Praying about the thoughts of the mind.
Praying about what the day intertwines.
Thinking about what comes next what came before.
Thinking about what you wore.
Lie down on your bed stare at the roof.
Stare until you feel at ease like you could go to asleep in a poof.
Until you close your eyes and fall asleep slowly and quietly awaiting the next day.
