the man who sleeps

the man who sleeps 

to his own anger

his passionate nature 

to the times it didn’t work 

as he wanted it to 

he doesn’t assume it’s his right

he doesn’t put up a fight

he has to be okay

he doesn’t take 

he accepts it all

because if he didn’t,

he’d break 


and when i sit and think 

i too want to learn the lullaby  

of keeping safe
