Restless Nights

Turning off my lamp,

I head to bed.

I drift awake

It felt like days, months had passed.

But I knew it had only been seconds

I lay in bed,

This restless night,

waiting for sleep to come

and take me away.

This restless night,

everything seems real.

The demons come after me.

My dreams felt alive.

The ones that have dwelled in my mind for years.

Turning into vicious creatures that cannot be stopped.

This restless night,

the shadows come to life.

I curl up into a ball like a roly poly

hoping my dream won’t become

a nightmare

but it already did.

This restless night,

they shoot me where I’m weak.

I yell and beg, but no one will help me.

Worthless Useless

My soul cannot be saved,

this restless night.

This restless night,

will be my last one.

This restless night,

my worst fears come to life.

This restless night,

I won’t have another day.

This restless night

I abruptly awake.
