*** sleepless nights ***

shutting my eyes tight
body craving sleep
mind refusing to turn off
flesh freezing
bones aching
eyes burning
head throbbing
stomach churning

it's getting bad again

stars shining
wind howling
clouds flying across the sky
tired eyes watching them

rocking back and forth
screaming in my head
hands shaking
tears spilling
on the fuzzy blankets

music blasting
thoughts gone
beat kicking in
melody hitting
uncontrollable shaking
body trying to break the chains
no chance

fuzzy blankets around me
soft matress beneath me
comforting darkness surrounding me
cold prison cell inside my mind

clock ticking
minutes passing
awaiting the morning
body and mind aching for a distraction
from the hurt and sorrow

it's getting even worse
