It, I Need
My body yearns for it, my brain cannot thrive without it, my mind needs it to be at peace.
Without it, I cannot survive.
The others point and laugh, for I am nothing when I neglect it.
A dark shadow looms over me when it is not there.
The shadow swallows me, my body weak.
I need it, and I will do anything to get it.
Within reason.
But, without it, reason is gone.
I am not able to function.
The relationship between it and I;
I and it.
We care for each other deeply, yet I am quick to abuse.
Carelessly, I value other things:
Pointless, trivial things,
When all I
Want, Desire, Crave,
Is it.
I need it for my heart, my mind, my soul.
It is there for me daily,
Whether or not I am there,
for it.
It is clouded by nightmares of the horrors I endure,
Made beautiful by my dreams.
Restless I become.
I embrace it, yet restless I remain.
The activity in my brain prevents me from being with it.
I need it.
It encompasses my nightmares, dreams, and restlessness;
All in one.
It is Sleep.
