Power Over Me

A restful sleep...where no one will bother to wake me

A restful sleep...where no nightmares may haunt me for I am in a tranquil coma

Not dead nor am I alive

I am in between heaven and the cold atmosphere I call Earth

These restless nights I've had on this planet are also my personal HELL!

Bloodshot eyes, the fatigue in my face

And the constant aching in my body

The burning coursing through my veins

It feels almost as if something is keeping me from my peaceful slumber

Darkness has overcome me but the light inside me has yet to cease

I will fight for as long as I can

But who is the girl that's looking at me with menacing eyes, those charcoal-dripped irises

For now, I lie awake in the dark waiting for sleep to come
