Creator of mirages

Don't wake me up
As I might have drifted off
Into a deep slumber

Don't wake me up
As I might be seeking solace in pain

Don't wake me up
Because I want to be a silent sufferer

Don't wake me up
As I am the creator of this mirage

Don't wake me up
When my staggering feet
Lead me to threshold of endless suffering

Don't wake me up
As the known faces might become a blur

Don't wake me up
When the melancholic rhythm sways me

Don't wake me up
The cacophony of voices might soothe me

Don't wake me up
When the white butterflies
Form a halo over my head

Don't wake me up
If the darkness engulfs me

But do wake me up
As I am scared to leave
Do wake me up
Before i drift off to sleep....
