Ink Blotter

Insomnia

I’m wide awake
The night still young
My mind refusing
To take the chains off
To let me escape
From the madness
Lurking in my head
 
The darkness looming
Arranging my thoughts
As the hours disappear
Time drifting eerily silent
In the darkness of night
 
There is no peace to be had
Sleep evading me once again
The memories restlessly thrashing
In my pounding head  as they shout
 
Tossing and turning
I try to escape
Their greedy little hands
That dig into my flesh
Leaving deep bruises
That burn through night
Reminding me of the poison I am
 
Closing my eyes
I struggle to find some reprieve
But there is no comfort
In the darkness
As the demons come out
Haunting my mind
 
Wide awake
I will not sleep tonight
Starring into the shadows
As insomnia descends
