The Never-sleep Guy

You say Good Night at 10 pm,
And like my posts at 2 am.
You say you’re taking a nap,
Multiple times during the day.
And I think you lie,
You’re a never-sleep guy.
 
All night long, you stay awake,
Maybe counting the stars,
Or talking to the moon.
About all the things
Life has taken from you,
How totally destroyed are you!
 
And during the day,
When you say you nap,
It’s just your smooth excuse,
To cut the conversation short.
Faking the ‘oh-so-okay guy’
Is such a horrendous toil.
 
Is my assumption true?
How broken are you?
Or am I just imagining,
A reflection of me?
Assuming every single person,
To be as dismantled as me.

Inspiration: Bharath Upendra

    Heartbreaking!💔💔 My heart sank after reading this! Sudden rush of sadness surrounded me.😢😢 Have never felt this way ever after reading a poetry since a long time.

        I am fine thankyou. But you never really know when they are truly asleep and when they are not asbthey fake it. Often, they claim to be broken but are not really. But they break you with their games. For me, that is what the poem said ❤️
