Your feet crunch loudly on the ground
A retched, hollow burning sound
In your chest your heart does pound
You are the lost waiting to be found
Your skinny legs continue to sway
Your skin begins to slowly fray
Trapped in endless shades of gray
This scene is turning too cliché
So change it up before you trip
Teeth catch your gnarled bottom lip
Your clothes snag and start to rip
Just as the rain begins to drip
You're in two places at one time
Reality is hidden deep in the grime
Like the two sides of a dime
A bed of trees for you to climb
Above, the leaves have fallen still
Though your heart still acts as a drill
Predators lean in for the kill
You're forced to rely on one last pill
This one will hopefully put to bed
The sleepless monster that you dread
These nightmares from which you are fed
Are the result of insomnia in your head
