Depression Naps

I got home from work and ate some cereal

And told myself that I would only take a little nap

And then suddenly it was 10:30

I felt like I'd been hit by a bus

And it it weren't for my pets harassing me for attention

I would've gone back to bed

And slept for who knows how long

Because despite getting plenty of sleep

I don't get a lot of rest

And I am very tired

And when I'm asleep I don't have to think

Or exist

Or be alive

Nobody needs you

Nobody can touch you

And despite being a pretty touchy-feely person

I also don't want your hands on me ever again

Or anyone else's for that matter

And you can't bother me in my sleep anymore

You can't wake me up

And you can't try to fix me

Or make me feel good

I have a right to be tired

And a right to take naps

Whenever I damn well please

So I'm going back to sleep
