I know for a fact
that im an insomniac.
awake at the darkest hours
only to watch
my demons devour my mind
lay it to rest of tranquility
and eat me away from the inside out.
Never will I believe
in a bed time
or peaceful sleep
because those moments
are far and few between.
I don't give myself credit
for the right things ive done during the day
and it breaks me when I feel
that ive been anything but productive.
maybe my mind is still awake
because I feel like I need
to do something to prove my worth.
or maybe I just cant fathom
the terrible dreams that occur
when I finally fall into sleep.
whatever the reason may be
all I ask is to put my mind at ease
and let me
for once
have a blissfully silent slumber.
