Sleep

I came here hatless
With the top of my head bare
I came here restless
With no soul ever to spare
I came here quietly
A ghost between men
I came here defeated
My hands unbend
I came with eyes
But not to see
I came with ears
But not to hear
I came to sing
I came to mourn
I came to sleep
With thoughts sour
They caught the smoke I walked in today
They caught the laughter I laughed all day
They tasted my people, my world, my play
All for nothing, all to pay.
