"The Long Sleep"

Awakening after a steady slumber,
The man was greeted by a piece of tinder
He hopped to his feet and screamed aloud
How in the world does this still matter

His sentiment echoed through all the halls
And some responded with loads of laughter
While he questioned himself what is the matter
He sulked to himself why is there laughter

Throughout the night he struggled to sleep
He spent his days aloft in the deep
When he tries to rest his head,
He failed realize that there's not always dread

He starts his day anew again
The plans to move forward feel like they won't end
When he tries to make the move he needs
It seems like there is no reprieve

He spends his day wondering what's gone
It seems there's nothing that can't go wrong
Once he had some friends and family
He realized there can't be some cheap, cheap cheat

Dreading going to bed
He thought it was just in his head
After some time he took the leap
And realized it's been just one long sleep
