Intelligent Insomniac
Inside an Intelligent Insomniac
By: J.L. <3
The deeper you are a sleeper,
does that make you a keeper
or just revive you to think deeper
in this world that exist a grim reaper
Do you fear you sleep and never wake
or scared to live life for goodness sake.
I do not understand what is real or fake
in this lost life where we learn to bake cake
and cook for the family to eat steak
but what if life is full of shit to rake
and you fall all over and drown in this lake?
Who will keep you alive and give you that shake?
The deeper you are a sleeper,
does that make you a keeper
or just revive you to think deeper
in this world that exist a grim reaper
Intelligent insomniacs are inside my body
yet sometimes I feel as if I have nobody
Because you live life to keep busy
before you snap and become dizzy.
The planet is still bringing me down
As I learn to accept things with a crown,
I smile to know you are still around
But will you be there when I am underground?
The deeper you are a sleeper,
does that make you a keeper
or just revive you to think deeper
in this world that exist a grim reaper
This confusion comes from looking for love
Because this Gossip Girl sings the song
'Somebody to Love' from high above
and makes me wonder wear is my glove
to wear and keep me cozy
even though you are so nosy.
The deeper you are a sleeper,
does that make you a keeper
or just revive you to think deeper
in this world that exist a grim reaper
The deeper you are a sleeper,
does that make you a keeper
or just revive you to think deeper
in this world that exist a grim reaper
*sigh*
