I went to bed
Rested my head
Wishing tonight I'd be dead.

I woke from my hibernation
As fresh as a springtime carnation
I said, what a fantastic realization!

I wish to drain
All the rain
In Spain.

Maybe then will I slip away like the pain.

Thanks for not judging me. This poem's very personal and private. I've been keeping it in for a long time.
