Broken Sleep

Creeping madness on my skin, fits of cluttered rage. Stealing sadness from within, skipping forward page. Rusty hinges on my brain, feathered pillow see. Slowly driving me insane, broken window flee. Absent slumber cloudy days, withered dreams of plight. I often wonder how it weighs, another sleepless night.

This is a very simple and short poem but the word choice and imagery says a lot. Unfortunately I can't offer much in terms of contructive criticism but I do look forward to seeing some more of poetry like this.
