Awake
I awake in night
2:27 am
I awake in morning
I open and close my eyes
Trying to escape reality once more
I'm awake fully
I toss, twist, and turn
Trying to regain comfortability
I lie there, awake
We've been here before
Do I want this again?
To be up thinking about the pain in my head
No, so I stand
Maybe too quickly, so I sit
I stand again
I stand for a while
No ability to move or do anything
Head tilted towards the floor
I look forward
Dizziness overtakes me
My ears begin to ring
Darkness
Maybe I'm asleep and that's all I see
Or maybe I'm awake and that's all I be
Darkness
It fades and I gaze the blue gold haze of night
But it's not night, it's morning
Mixed with the sounds of wind against the trees
Cars driving back and forth because it's not night, it's morning
A certain silence void of others
I'm awake in morning
But not the way I'd hope
So, I'm awake in night

I've been struggling with my sleep for... let's just say a while now. I used to believe that I was the only one who experienced such traumas as I. I now know different. This is how I feel and I can't sleep.
