Sleepless
heavy eyes, unbalanced steps
may every night I go sleepless
it pains my body and my mind
to stay awake while the world rests
no matter if I try my best
total agony washes over me as my person falls asleep
though I am awake inside
I can not move
I can not cry
heavy eyes, unbalanced steps
may every night I go sleepless
come second hour
when my conscious is overpowered
by the mind of a mad man
color and shapes fly across my sight
and voices of the past fill my mind
I tell you i’m not mad
though I’m told that all the time
heavy eyes, unbalanced steps
may every night I go sleepless
My body begs me to shut my eyes
but after a while it turns on me and tries
to force me to sleep
it starts with terrible pains
lt felt like a knife to the side it was painful
I want to rest my eyes
but my Hypnophobia plagues me
my thoughts keep me in the wake
in the eyes everyone I was pitied
now I am shameful.
