#sleepanxiety - Hello Poetry

I used to welcome sleep Sleeping felt like swimming in the void the universe was created in Like embracing a home you've never known you had Or a pet you once owned as a child Sleep was comforting and welcoming as a mother is to her wounded child stumbling home from the war A broken man Now you've infected my dreams in an attempt to amputate my mind You carve the walls and scrape the ceilings of my skull And raise the floors to create walls of an endless maze You hunger for my brain so you may use it as a labyrinth to play in I won't let you have it I'd rather die than let you have it The stakes are too high The cost of failure too much And losing is no longer an option I only wonder If it ever was Or if I simply didn't understand the value Of myself In the eye Of me
