Be Nice To Yourself

Go to bed everyone, you are tired, too tired to dream while awake.

Close your eyes and get lost from this world.

It can smell really bad sometimes, give your nose a break.

If you need to rock yourself to sleep, moan in pain, or cry, let it.

Hug yourself and sleep till morning or when well slept.

We all hurt, it’s human to do so. I hurt too.

I hurt a lot actually,

Especially of late.

So much so I have trouble with sleep.

But however I sleep, when I do get some Zs.

The next day has a power all its own.

It’s another day, another chance, one more try.

I might cry again, feel like I not making even a dent.

But it’s also human to keep at it, until one is spent.

When well slept one can daydream again.

Make plans and do things again. To be human again.

So sleep, everyone. If you did little or a lot, you tried.

Just be nice to yourself and everyone, it makes the world stink less.

Your heart will like the smell of that.
