Sleep Sleep Sleep
Daunting is the wait
I want to let go
Too many years awake
For a lifetime I've worried
For eternity I've wept
It's time for relief
It's time for long due rest
The day's events keep me thinking
My mind holds a heavy load
My thoughts won't leave me
I just want them to corrode
How could I have changed the outcome?
What could I have done different?
Have I destroyed my chance?
Will I forever be discontent?
My soul feels heavy
My heart feels torn
This day has lasted far too long
All that's left to do is mourn
My tears now guide me
To a calm dark place
My senses weaken
There is nothing as strange
As darkness grows around my heart
I start to see loved ones depart
As my soul slowly fades away
I feel evil creep inside to stay
I no longer look in the mirror
For fear of seeing a terrifying monster
Eyes full of hatred and lust for blood
A creature no longer capable of love
My conscience flees at its command
It causes me endless torment
I fear I'll soon lose my own mind
Will it forever keep me confined
My hands do unspeakable horrors
My mouth laughs at the tortured
I scream to try to escape this nightmare
But my inner demons will always be there

Doing algebra homework was definitely anti-climactic considering what today was – the one year anniversary of her conquering the Labyrinth, rescuing her brother and vanquishing the Gobli

Jareth Be Prepared
Jareth:
I never thought goblins to be esential.
they're crude and unspeakably plain
but maybe they have glimmer of potential
when aligned with my vision and brain
I know that your powers of retention
Are that of a squirell on catnip
But thick as you are, pay attention
Your about to go an a big trip
there's a girl who is full of potential
who is brooding just above ground
it's important she thinks she's alone there
You'll be bogged should you be found!
Let's prepare for a wish of a lifetime
Be prepared for our dreams to come true
the queen will be coming
and you'll keep her running
Hoggle:
but why would we do that?
Jareth:
so we'll win
