    Sleep & Wake

    I sleep to forget

    The violence in me,

    The want to destroy

    Takes over me.

    I wake and remember

    All of the pain,

    The agony that you’re

    Never coming again.

    I sleep to forget

    The horrors I’ve seen,

    The death, destruction,

    And betrayal that’s been.

    I wake and remember

    The worst is to come,

    The rejection and loss

    In your final “um”.

    I sleep to forget

    What I wake and remember.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
