when i sleep

The anger rushes through me
I feel like I have to flee.
I try to hide it
Don’t want my friends to see it.

My health has gone
A cough looks like a yawn.
To my dismay
You don’t ask me to stay.

When I sleep I dream
That my life isn’t falling apart at the seam.
It doesn’t make me sad
Here Life isn’t so bad.

Oh but when I wake up
When the sun is up on top.
Life smacks me in the face
I hate this terrible fate.
