The Sleepless

Twisting and turning. The world doesn't make sense.

The fear twines around me. Suffocates the very essence of my being.
Starved.

On the verge of tears. On the edge of surrender.
Telling myself that tomorrow will be better.

The pressure - created by me. The fear - a figment of my imagination. Emotions - stronger than anything.

Head spinning. A bile taste in my mouth. Unable to shake it off.

Praying that sleep will numb me for just a while. Escaping from the living hell. It's no longer a fear, it's all I know.

Nothing and everything. A victory and a defeat. A loneliness and an escape.

Sleep, pave the way.
Because tomorrow
We continue
We fight

We conquer

Gray

In the sun, the world is color. Beautiful, fun, and bright. Then the lights are turned out. Everything's gray in the night. This is a sleepless dark. I'm tired of the unrest.

Silence

Some say silence is golden, But to me, silence is killer. I'm not sure why, But I can't stand silence. I can't sit it either. Silence and I are mortal enemies.

Worry.

Why?

Words are harder to use, because you don't want to offend anyone or make a fool of yourself,. You just keep analysing everything you've said in your head to see where you went wrong,.
