WIDE ASLEEP,

Came to me as a realization, like a dream. All my life I’ve been a very sleepy girl. Call this an ode to fellow sleepy girls with big dreams: full of glamour, stardom, and drama. Sleepwalking through the door, one foot clumsily after the other.

Tops made of petals, roses…as if from a fantastic garden. Clothing wrinkled like how your skin gets after a long nap. Permanent wet looks, transporting you to ancient times and sculptured halls.

Light a candle for your sleepy heroine, and let the dream come to life.

For now, she is — we all are —

WIDE ASLEEP.
