Sleep

It's a drug
Even the most sensible teenager can grow addicted to it

The moment you close your eyes
          The living nightmares
The anxiety
          The stress
The problems
          Are gone

Feelings you so hopefully didn't want
         You no longer have to feel

But you abuse it so much
         You use it as an escape

So you become tired all the time
         Not because of lack of sleep

You're just so used to being numb and blank

Author's note: in *Logophile*, each chapter unravels a different facet of what it means to feel deeply—whether it's the quiet ache of longing, the exhilarating rush of joy, or the comforting embrace of nostalgia. This book isn't just a celebration of language; it's a tribute to the complex emotions that words can capture and express. Perfect for those who find solace in sentences and resonance in reflection, *Logophile* invites you to lose yourself in the beauty of feeling.
