can't sleep
i'm overcome by monsters, dark and vicious, ready for a feast
i can see them coming after me if i close my eyes for too long
they're strong, sadistic, twisted clawing towards me
among them are shadows with claws, open jaws
some are people though, eyes full of anger and hunger
smiles large and disturbing
i see my father, i see the boogeyman i hid from as a child
i see
Nothing
it always stops right before they reach me
shaking, afraid, tired
Oh so very tired
i've wrapped myself so tightly in blankets to stop the shaking but it does nothing
i've resorted to sleeping with a light, trying with all my might to ignore the shadows
they dance and turn, howl and cackle, gaze and smile, beckon me to join them
i am scared
i am lost
i am alone
why can't i find home, i know the address
know what it looks like but my maps don't lead me there
No
it leads me through a hell unknown
tell me when does it end?
because i'm tired of this game and just want some comfort
before i can no longer breathe
