Too Sad to be Awake, Too Sad to be Asleep

"Feeling of discouragement and imposter syndrome sends me to bed like a mother does for her child. And like the child who fears the dark, I cannot sleep because the presence of fear is within me. Not around me." This piece is based off whenever I begin to feel lost and discouraged, and want to do nothing but sleep to pass time. Hoping that good things will happen when I'm asleep. But I struggle to sleep because I am too stressed and my mind is filled with erratic thoughts. So I lay in my purgatory ridden bed.
