Psychotic Insomniac
The moon rises
Through the darkness
Stars appear
Twinkling I’m the vastness
I close my eyes
Shutting them out
I lay down
My head
On a pillow of horror
It never lets me rest
My thoughts
Keep me awake
Jolting means I start to drift
Away
My mind seems to be warning me
Of nightmares
But really
That’s what I’m trying
To escape
I can’t leave
But I know
I very well can’t stay
Or these thoughts and memories
Will consume me
And my sanity
Midnight comes
With no sound
Except for the screaming in my head
Nobody is awake
To save me
From this
Finally my thoughts recede
Giving me
Seconds
Of mercy
Tears
Dry on me
As I fall
Asleep
