Sometimes I want to sleep forever (Marcella Boccia) 🎧
Sometimes, I want to sleep forever—to let the weight of the world slip off my bones,to sink into the stillness of a dreamwhere time dissolvesand I am no longer boundby the aches of waking.In the dark, I stretch my hands toward silence,toward the soft, unspoken lullabyof an empty sky.I long to be nothing,a shadow caught in the twilight,a thought abandoned before it is born,a whisper swallowed by the night.There are days when the noise of lifeis too much,when even the air is sharp,cutting through my lungslike a blade searching for the truthof a name I can no longer remember.And in those moments,I ache for the peace of oblivion,for the cold comfortof being lost to the world,of being buried under the weight of sleep,where nothing demands to be felt,nothing calls me back.But sleep is a thief,and it has no mercy.It waits in the corners of my mind,a promise I cannot trust—a kiss that leaves me breathlessbut never satisfied.So I keep walking through the waking world,even when the path blurs,even when the ground beneath me tremblesand the sky above mebegins to break apart.Yet, sometimes—sometimes I want to sleep forever,to drift beyond the edges of this aching skin,to find a place where my soul can restwithout fear of what it has forgotten.But I remain here,awake,searching for the silence that will never come,waiting for the sleepthat will never be enough.
