Fears Awaken in Dreams

"You need this...

Just let your mind relax..."

 

My body keeps telling me

As I sit here

My eyes drooping

As my mind goes fuzzy

 

Fighting the urge

To take a snooze

Is no easy task

Because you'll usually lose

 

But I must do it

The thoughts in my head

Will just become more livid

If I let myself slip unconscious

 

Because although thoughts flash

Across the mind

When they turn to dreams

It's a continuous stream

 

But maybe I can doze

For just five minutes?

No I can't

Because it won't end there

 

I must stay awake

It's the only choice

At least the one that makes

The most sense

 

But alas, it's no use

It's overpowering yet again

I'll close my eyes, and go to sleep

Just to wake up again

 

This time maybe

My mind will take flight

And show what I want

Not what I fear.
