I Am Only But Awakening
I am only but awakening
My tired eyes are failing to open
I try so hard but they are sealed shut
The nightmares of the ocean keep me choking
on my own sleep-filled thoughts
My mind is my worst enemy
I am a prisoner that cannot escape
The drowsiness of my dreams, of reality
It seems to only haunt me
Reality grabs ahold of me and scrapes at me until it consumes every piece of my sanity
No bandages seem to cover the scars
And no amount of glue can fix me
Awakening up from this nightmare seems far
from reach,
all I can try to do is
breathe.
