Sleep is a comfort It stops all the madness that fills my mind and ends the grueling existence I've found myself in But, sleep does not come easy Turning my brain off is like pulling the prey out of a lion's mouth Thoughts dig their talons in and I can't find rest Memories flood in like waters during a hurricane and I toss and turn I long for that moment of complete exhaustion when the black wall goes up and things can't get in. Finally complete darkness.
