Sleep Deprived Hell
September 8, 2018
I slowly pass the hours
Late at night I cry out
Wishing something would save me
From the nightmare I live
It’s a cycle I cannot break
I listen to the silence that drowns my room
The darkness flooding in
Filling my lungs with sadness
I find it hard to breathe
Panicking about how I will waste away my days and nights
Sometimes I’ll stare into the ceiling
Painting pictures with shadows
Imagining my life as I’d like it to be
I feel trapped in this sleeplessness
As my mind drifts off into my discouraging past
Bringing up memories I wish I never had
Leaving me hopeless
