Don’t Let Me Get Me

I can feel the overwhelming exhaustion

The sudden heaviness of my dazed eyelids

A hazy pressure beneath my skull

Tingling running down my arm resting

in the tips of my fingers

My head is dizzy and my mind 

quickly grows weary

But my thoughts grow louder

Tearing at me with its antagonizing words

Clawing to be set free

I try to to succumb to the sudden all consuming

emptiness of my being

Because if I did my demon would be set free

And the nightmares I kept boarded in me

Would resurrect and I would crumble into oblivion
