Panick

A silent touch, a cold caress A familiar result of too much stress My chest is tight, my knees are weak My body is in imagined duress I loved my rest, I loved my sleep A pledge 'tween me and my bed so deep Now a nightmare just laying down The loss renders me too tired to weep Why this bother, why this strain? What is it with my overactive brain..? Tell me please where is the switch I need to flip, or I'll go insane! I could use the time to learn new things, Or draw pictures of unicorns with wings I shall do neither of that I'm sure A song too violent and rough my heart still sings Sleep come sweetly, I'm waiting for you You were always there to pull me through It feels like a rock is upon my chest I need to unplug to awake anew!
