Jul 2013
In my bed staring at the ceiling,
Trying so desperately to get rid of this sickening feeling.
About tomorrow ...
Tossing and Turning,
Yearning...
For a peace of mind.
Time ticking yet I dare not to sleep,
Fearing what lies ahead of me,
May be a divine intervention my subconscious refuse to seek?
Deep down my heart grows weary.
In each rhythmic session,
Hours turns to minutes, minutes turns to countless seconds.
Wondering will I conquer the inevitableness of my requisition?
Inquisitive thoughts plagues my mind,
Consistently wrapping...
As I unravel today's present.
Today has been a blessing,
Too bad this gift must be thrown...
Insomnia began to attack viciously,
Through my flesh and into the bone,
I  envision that if I close my eyes,
my fate will be revealed.
Tomorrow never dies,
But unfortunately I will along with today.

This is the 2nd Revision, My friend Sidney post it and it was to late for me to add my 2nd thoughts in. Check his page out for the original and more.

"Consistently wrapping,
As I unravel today's present."

I added wrapping because because it plays on with the present as a present. "Consistently wrapping" significance is that I would continue to wrap as I unravel because I don't want today to end. Other than that there are small
Minor difference in syntax from the original and last line ending.
