Images racing.
Thoughts ringing in my skull.
Head pounding with voices that refuse to leave.
My eyelids try to close, but they're ripped back open.
I can't sleep!
I wish this was all just a dream.
I wish I could wake up.
The thoughts and voices they terrify me.
They keep me awake.
They say things.
Things like
"Either many restless nights or one eternal sleep"...
And I've never been so tired.
Bullet-sized sleeping pills.
That's all I see.
Someone save me.
Please.
I don't think I can take it anymore.

I'm too tired to sleep.
My eyes want to close.
I'm wide awake.
There's not much more that I can take.
I don't talk about it for everyone else's sake,
But it consumes me like a large snake.
I wish it was fake.

It makes me push people away.
Many times they don't fight to stay.
The voices in my mind, they made me this way.

Eventually, I become exhausted.
I become worn out by all of the
Buzzing in my head,
Finally, I fall into a deep sleep.

The sun rises.
I have to drag myself from the sheets and
Blankets that held me, prisoner.
I fake a smile and
Go through the motions.
The vicious cycle always repeats.
It never ends.
