Insomnia
-------------------------------------------
Asleep In the morning and awake at night,
All alone amidst the fright
The walls are small, this space is tight
Waiting for the Moment of Light.
Sat up shaking, too scared to move
What are they doing and trying to prove?
All these voices I’m sure are valid
In the mirror my face is pallid.
Why am I scared? Is it the unknown?
As I write this the fear has grown
The dark gets blacker and I can’t breathe the air
Choking and struggling running into despair
The panic is over but keeping an eye
On whatever it is that keeps passing me by
It’s staying hushed but don’t be surprised
It’s just waiting for me to close down my eyes
The time has passed so slowly now
But I got through it I don’t know how
And now to sleep until the next night
Now that I have this Moment of Light.
