Insomnia and The Army of the Damned

As a sufferer I lay awake last night penning this mentally

Again the walking dead in seach of rest,
are led to suckle at her breast.
With heavy hearts and aching feet,
that feast upon her fetid teat.

Their mistress of the stolen dream,
supplimemts with rancid cream.
Through emptiness no hope is given,
from soured milk and n****e shriven.

No mothers care was ever shown,
to those that walk each night alone.
The open eyed and sore of limbs,
that forsake sleep to feed her whims.

So call me damned, lost to my bed,
as I spend nights by her instead.
But see the legion on the hill,
whom just as I bend to her will.

Insomnia please break theses chain,
allow my mind to rest again.
I beg a fool on bended knee,
please take away this plight from me.

Forty years plus have I true served,
and feel my freedom well deserved.
My time is short my dreams are few,
so let me go and start anew.

Author's Note

To all my fellow sufferers and members of the walking dead whom also pay their dues in the army of the damned.

It should be supplements, not supplimemts. That was the only grammar/ spelling mistake, though, so good job!

in here you say with much eloquence what I'm always trying to say. My words always seem to brutish, but yours are beautiful. Thank you for this!

This was akin to reading Greenday lyrics, oh and + a fetid teat, whatever that is. I think your style is charming, I submit to conventions of rhyme when reading you, no matter how slightly!
