Inappropriate sleep takes me to a distant reality
My spirit had neither thought of it during the recess
Feeling of surrender to a predacious nature of sleep
I could not get the time to express my disapproval
A weak no from me did not hinder its plans
From a fiendish journey, there’s no escape now
Heavy eyelids, a numb body, mysterious rotation
In me, the reality spread its temper like a stream
Ferocity unleashed without my consent
Scarier became the day, more sinister than darkness
Trying to avenge some unfinished rivalry
An intolerable world won’t bother
Faces appear, speak to me in indistinct dialect
Their apprehensions, grim reality of souls
Suffering during unwanted sleep
I could not protest against a hostile reality
Anonymous, but ferociously exist there
