The darkest days of my sadness

For hours on end, I slept. Falling asleep would be hardest part most of the time, but once asleep, you don't feel pain or hunger or loneliness or bitterness. In sleep I would drown in false euphoria, and when I would awaken, for a minute, I just didn't care about anything, until it all would just come rushing back- why I was suffering in the first place.
