Up All Night Asleep All Day

Anxiety..

Waking up from the fifteen minute sleep you was so lucky to get, 

a cold, hard sweat,

your body shaking from the cold,

yet your heating is on full

sweating threw blankets, sheet after sheet,

anyone would think it was a small childs bedding.

pleading, praying although you do not believe in this so called god,

a magical being who has never helped to take away, your very real pain.

One night sleep, after an endless week of tossing and turning,

yet another night that fifteen minutes just makes you long for more

your body falling down and failing you.

all night in bed, a yet such a sleepless night.

the people around you call you lazy, 

as your body dies in the early morning light,

the only sleep you can get and its wrong to those you see everyday.

weeks or months this can go on and this is when you meet a new friend

depression this is it the beginning of the end,

restless night, a knife under my bed

it calls to me, these endless nights, feelings come up.

they eat you away, like the hunger for something you can not recieve.

a restless night, a restless week, a restless month.. 

a never ending cycle..

a never ending war with that pillow you move so very often.

anybody who's had anxiety or depression has felt these feelings, and people assuming you're lazy... right on, this is very relatable. There's help out there

We turn our clocks upside down... a bit at a time - and don't even see IT coming. Course what is there ever to see? The mind has its own plane of existence and we feel like guests at times...
