Screaming
Sleep alludes me this night
Even though try as I might
Plagued by horrible nightmares
Meant to disturb and scare
Why do they torture me so?
When will they will finally let me go?
Give me peace and rest
Loosen up my poor chest.
Hard to think through the pain
Beating down like a cold hard rain
Trying to destroy from within
When did all of this begin
Will it ever end?
Or will I yet again bend
Tot he pressures deep down
Making me feel like I will drown
Clawing my way out
Feeling the urge to shout
Try not shout and scream
Want my mind finally free
Toss the covers in vain.
Swipe at the fog and pain
Sit up and stare
Wishing you were there
