Dark Sheets

And I opened my eyes and couldn't move, Stuck still to the dark sheets. My eyes, only able to look up Not around-like my mind. No thoughts can break through The wall of my enemy Who is my sadness, My weakness, hopelessness and despair. The energy is gone So am I. I'm not here in these dark sheets Or in this empty room That resembles my state of being, Or lack of being. I begin to think And all I can think is, I am able to think and feel, And then I regret trying. Then I look around And the emptiness registers. The darkness registers. And I wish I could go back and be stuck to these dark sheets And this empty room.
