this life that i live
for forever, i breathe
i need it to stop
i need some relief
the burden that is buried inside
it festers.  it seethes
in agony, i suffer
my mind not at ease
i'm restless and jaded
i'm in need of sleep
insomnia setting in
it's beginning to creep
with wide open eyes
a blank stare off into space
i feel like an ALIEN
stranded in a strange place
my thoughts are unclear
they're too real to go near
some only fragments
that just disappear
i'm stuck in this moment
my day has wasted away
like parts from the past
that blend with today
my thoughts continue to race
my focus fades
i'll disintegrate over time
as i slip away
