Sleep Off Tomorrow Poem by Marijke McKinney

When will all the tomorrows be ok
When can I fall asleep
Without my thoughts worrying about
What will come when I wake

Roll over the heads
Of all the people
Bobbling inside of
A sleepy girls bed

I can’t face what I have to do
When the cold sifts through
The screen of my window
On tomorrow’s bones

When will all the tomorrows be ok
When can I fall asleep
Without my thoughts worrying about
What will come when I wake

Vulnerable
Before I drift to nothingness
