It's two am. Why can't I sleep? Why am I wide awake? Oh wait I know; Because sleep and I aren't friends anymore. My mind races when I try to rest. The voices don't shut up. I can't close my eyes. I can't escape the nightmare. The same **** one. Daddy's in it. He's saying somethig, what daddy I can't hear HELP Im coming daddy hold on Help me please But I can never reach him in time. Something always holds me back. I scream and cry and; *wake up Bree, *** it's okay. It was just a dream. Go back to sleep* But it wasn't just a dream and it's not that easy to just go back to sleep. And that's why at two am I'm still wide awake.

Why am I awake?
It's two am. Why can't I sleep? Why am I wide awake? Oh wait I know; Because sleep and I aren't friends anymore. My mind races when I try to rest. The voices don't shut up. I can't close my eyes. I can't escape the nightmare. The same **** one. Daddy's in it. He's saying somethig, what daddy I can't hear HELP Im coming daddy hold on Help me please But I can never reach him in time. Something always holds me back. I scream and cry and; *wake up Bree, *** it's okay. It was just a dream. Go back to sleep* But it wasn't just a dream and it's not that easy to just go back to sleep. And that's why at two am I'm still wide awake.
I haven't slept in two days and I'm still wide awake.
