Awakened in a Nightmare.
Insomnia's Woes.
How do I wake up from a nightmare
If I never went to sleep?
The darkness lingers, always there,
menacing with it's constant, endless creep.
I try to escape its grasp,
But it holds me tight, a vice
I'm trapped in an endless cycle
Of turmoil and sacrifice.
The days all blur together
As I wander through the haze
Searching for a way out
But from this maze there's no escape.
I often long for the sweet release
Of slumber's peaceful rest
But it seems I am doomed
To be forever oppressed.
So I wander through this darkness,
Haunted by the shadows of my mind,
Wondering if the peace that I so desperately crave,
Is something ll ever find.
