#night-terror
Swollen eyes of sleep depreieve With giant black bags underneath Bright red cheeks huff and puff Raggedly pained air that I breathe Tear stains appear on my pillow each night In dozens of crosshatched lines But I drudge out of bed to wash them away So that nobody knows they were mine From here on out- I refuse to sleep to be forced into nightmares again Coffee and lights as my main support Why should I worry my friends?
