In the dark of the night,
I toss and turn.
Restless thoughts
rage war in my mind.

They speak of dark humor,
Alliances of tyranny.

I sit up as the window pane
Lights up with lightning stains.
The storm continues to rage.

Nothing ends this rage,
The emotion that chains me,
And binds me to my bed.

I can't move,
Restraints of those thoughts hold me.
And whisper venom in my ear.

I can only heave air,
To bring life back to my lungs.
That fail to breathe.

My ribs squeeze tightly,
As does my heart...
I have nothing to say,
All I feel is pain..

Those restless thoughts kept me awake,
As the sun rose on the horizon.
Another barbaric day has begun.

Another day,
Without sleep.
**** it mind,
I **** thee!
