xxxiv: sleeping dreamer

it is cold where i am
   surrounded by concrete walls
i wasted my time building.

i am tired of being alone,
   but it's who i am now, isn't it?

who would i be without my
   word lists and books and headphones and cowardly heart?

i would be vulnerable
   and thin as paper,
though i am both of those things now.

i do not know;
   it all scares me.

i have spent my life as a sleeping dreamer
   and i am afraid to know what may happen if i wake up...

when i wake up.
