Sleep Demons

I'm so tired

But I cannot sleep

For my dreams at night

They make me weep

When I close my eyes

I see it there

Reaching for me

Pulling my hair

I grind my teeth

And try to yell

But I feel so heavy

And my throat starts to swell

I try to run

But I go nowhere

I try to escape

But I still see it there

So awake I lie

With sand in my eyes

Waiting for it

That thing I despise
