Why Am I Awake?

Why am I awake?
I want to sleep
And yet here I am
Sitting in bed as I weep

Something robbing
Me, I can’t control
And I am sobbing
From deep within my soul

I want to rest
I want to dream
I hold my breath
Try not to scream

My brain is wired
My emotions, on fire
My body, tired

Why am I awake?

Sleep Awaits

Good night moon
Good night stars
Goodnight pain
And good night scars
Sleep awaits
My tortured fate
I cant escape
This evening date
Wicked nightmares
Horrifying layers
Though, they may not be real
It does not change, how they feel
I wonder, will I ever heal?
