Why is my mind still
Tick tick ticking
Chewing on these guilt pills
Scratching til my skin bleeds
Trying not to see,
See that shadow in the corner
A plague in my head
Or is it?
Staring at this screen
All night if I have to
Avoiding all that dark space
Yet sleep will keep evading me
Eyes won't rest a second now,
This rhythm needs to stop
Before it builds into a hurricane
Of weeping, shaking, sad again
Not that again.
Leave me, please.
Let me ease into
A dreamless slumber,
No screaming, faded pictures
Twisted faces, scary places
Just, sleep. Peace.
Come back to me.
