Broken Sleep

I slept through gales of depression
Exhausted and lost to the morn
Out the window I saw devastation
In your face I witnessed scorn

Mighty trees that topple with winds
Irreconcilable differences arise from within

I sat on the couch feeling vacant
Unhappy, regardless of storms
I wish I could go back to sleep now
And undream the darkness I’ve formed

Great and heartfelt write Andy. I relate !! Just posted a poem called "INTERLUDE"-- similar sentiments, although they come and go.
