Sleepless Mind

My lack of sleep leaves me in complete despair,
It makes my mind feel as though its in need of repair.

I'm running out of things to say as I would rather be asleep,
But inevitably I watch the clock and wait for the alarm to beep.

Why can't I be like my brother and snore myself into deep slumber...
Or do I need to start looking up a psychiatrists number?

I don't know how long my mind can last,
Am i being haunted by thoughts from my past?

I have worked long hours, run 10 miles to wear myself out,
But my mind refuses to rest and just seems to shout.

Mind, Can we not work out a deal?
Where I can rest and heal...
No..
I'm getting angry and I'm going to use the pill!
Go on then, go have your fill..
I'm warning you I'm not kidding...!
No problem, your too weak and I'm great at manipulating.

You win...

Dream Sweet sleep

How can I raw like meadows. Disappear like wind. Dreams without solid ground. Noises sounding round and round. Bitten tongues bleeding. Racing and dropping. Aching level head.

Truth Of Shadowy Forms Comforts My Beautiful Lie

I look in the mirror to find the person by me,. The person I want to be but all I see is me looking back at me. She is with me everywhere I walk but never in the mirror. She is my beautiful side.

10:30pm antsy, pacing the room and studying every little nicknack on my bedside table...all I hear is my mother locking up for the night 12:06am anxious...I'm the only one awake.
