Relax (By Cat Matchuk)
Relax
here’s a small pond
The water feels like needles pricking every inch of me
but never strong enough to rip me open
Infuse the waters, make it look like berries
it’s all innocence that pours out
in bed, everything is heavy
so tired,
but to close my eyes would be to surrender and I fear
I’ll never wake up.
Falling asleep
Falling asleep is fading
like drifting to death
Relax
Maybe you should sleep
and start drifting
