Thieves and Kings

Waking up is thievery,
I am robbed of my sleep,
I am robbed of my dreams,

I am robbed

Of the people I meet, of the places I see, of the comfort I feel.

Waking up is thievery
And the thief is me.

Sleep is a tyrannical king
Ruling over my time
But once you fall asleep
Waking up is a crime

It rules over my work, my body, my thoughts

Sleep is a tyrannical king
It rules over what could be mine.


So in conclusion, balance is key
I no longer am, afraid to be
Robbed by waking up, ruled by sleep
Because I get to experience life in between
