Nice, Sleep, Mind
Laurie Halse Anderson (2011). “Speak”, p.165, Macmillan

I want to go to sleep and not wake up, but I don't want to die. I want to eat like a normal person eats, but I need to see my bones or I will hate myself even more and I might cut my heart out or take every pill that was ever made.

Laurie Halse Anderson
Hate, Heart, Sleep

I want to go to sleep and not wake up, but I don’t want to die.

Sleep, Wake Up, Want

It had been a good day, all things considered. I had managed rather well on my own. I opened Grandfather's Bible. This is what it would be like when I had my own shop, or when I traveled abroad. I would always read before sleeping. One day, I'd be so rich I would have a library full of novel to choose from. But I would always end the evening with a Bible passage.

Laurie Halse Anderson
Sleep, Good Day, Grandfather
