Sleep away from life

I’m tired beyond the edge of night,
Each breath a whisper of surrender,
My eyes heavy with the weight
Of relentless, unyielding day.

I long for a sleep, a refuge,
Where burdens melt into silence,
And every fear, every failure,
Fades softly into the dark.

In the quiet pull of dreams,
I yearn to escape, to forget,
To sleep away the scars
Of facing another endless dawn.

Like a modern Sleeping Beauty,
Who is truly a Beast,
I embrace the call of deep slumber,
Letting the night claim my weary soul.
