Needle and Thread (Insomnia)
A growl and a sigh
I'm so sick of this.
I long reminisce
Of my closed peaceful eyes,
And the deep calming breath
Slowly lifting my chest.
Just to lay down and rest
Achieved only through death.
There's no hope for me
Give me an escape
My eyes still agape
Awake constantly.
My vision is blurred
My anger is flaring
I'm done with just staring,
And fury has stirred.
I'm in FAR too deep!
I've MADE my decision!
Farewell to my vision!
I'd rather just sleep...
