Nightmares plague me,
They haunt my sleep.
I lay awake to avoid them.
Throughout the house I creep.
I've started to look tired,
I swear it's not my fault.
My teachers complain I forget stuff.
Should I lock my pain in a vault?
I have to stay awake,
Or I won't continue to live.
To stay awake I'll try and try,
Until I have nothing to give.
My mother says it's unhealthy,
Well what would she rather I do?
If I sleep the monsters will get me.
Just be happy they don't haunt you.
No one is happy with me,
But I can't help it I swear.
Even if I refresh my mind before bed,
The monsters still are there.
Maybe I'll have to kill myself,
To escape my fucking pain.
I've tried it before and I know I will,
Try again and again and again.
