“Sleep Deprivation 101”
I've been talking to the boogeyman
Living under my bed
When me and sleep don't speak
He keeps me company instead
Sometimes it makes me nervous
With the things that I've said
He could use my sins against me
A fate far worse than death
He listens when I'm lonely
If only for a while
Then Smiles ever intently
Bringing fear with denial
He whispers in my ears at night
To come out and play
His games can be addictive
And the rules always change
Been talking to the boogeyman
Living under my bed
Come to realize I'm the monster
Lurking inside my head
Gave up on life completely
And disguised it as fun
Self- taught self-destruction
