Behind My Eyes

Behind my eyes
There is a raging battle 
Constant conflict
Who'll win
My dreams or my nightmares
If you know tell me
Daylight, dreams rule
Sunny beaches
Grassy meadows
Hand in hand
By night
My horrors awake
So do I
Seen so much death
It rises like the moon
Shining fright
I shiver
O dawn
Come
Unrested 
Thankful
The daylight hits
Behind my eyes

The battle of the mind due to insomnia is described by you so well.
