Grasping Nightmare

Sleepless every night, My mind's deprived of the light. Even in midnight, I can't sleep tight. Sleep's always in delay, It feels like a replay. Can't rest even for a day, I feel like my body starts to decay. My eyes are heavy, But I can't rest idly. Every time my eyes shut, it's clingy, It feels like a demonic entity. When my eyes are open, I just stare, Hoping that from the dark corners no one would glare. In looking further, I wouldn't dare, It could bring different types of nightmare. In the darkness, shadows loom, They prefer the cold wide room. Waiting for small spec of gloom, Once it's out, it'll be your doom. Taking my breath like asthma, Like I'm grappled right in my trachea. Just like sleep apnea, But worst it affects me like insomnia. Sleeping was my rest, Now it's a difficult test. To face the things I detest, Gateway for my inner strength to manifest. I wish sleeping was still a cure, That rest where everything feels secure. When sweetdreams can still allure, Instead of nightmares you'll have to endure.
