Traumatized
I just want to sleep.
The worst time for me is at night.
The screaming;
The beatings;
The crying;
I see it.
And what's worse......
I can still feel it; like its happening right now...
I try to drown it out with music;
But it's louder..
The worse memories run through my mind when I lay down to sleep.
These demons won't let me rest.
Why must I suffer??
The only way to sleep is to crash.
During the day I can't wait to go to bed.
For now, my eyes burn and they refuse to rest.
So, I just lay here and go through it until I fall asleep.
Then I wake up in the middle of the night and go through "it"
again... "it" is... HELL!
