Insomnia

Couldn't sleep and this is what came out

Another sleepless night that I fight

my addiction on the inside begins to arise

I have no mercy, I can’t even cry if I tried

I’m just a dead memory left here to die

what a sad site, so I just close my eyes

and I dig down deep and I try to find myself on the outside

 

My eyes are heavy but yet I still can’t sleep

my chest begins to hurt, I can’t breathe

my soul tries to escape, I have been deceived

this life only wants me to bleed, to not see

what I can be, what I can believe and what I need

 

I try to take a step forward but I’m pushed back by my past

I’m sleepless, walking dead, with this cloud over my head

some say there will be better days but none come my way

I try to play it in my head but it all ends the same

these dead memories wont ever fade away

 

I’m souless , my face is getting lost in the crowd

I can’t see, I have no heart and I’m stuck with these black clouds

I’m searching for my reasons that I can’t sleep

my insomnia sets in and I lose my grip with reality

 

I know I can’t close these eyes until I see dawn

to this world, they see me as I’m dead and gone

maybe I have been dreaming all along

it doesn’t matter anyway cause I never really belonged

Another great poem. I actually felt a little closed in myself just reading it. You do a great job of bringing the reader's emotions into the story. Another great poem.
