Rogue Wave
In view of the fact, that trepidation is the whys and wherefore to my insufficient sleep
My ghastly nights embarked on a beast that got fed by malignity erupting abhorrence,
Provoking subconscious running from detestation, afraid from looking back at the beast
Yet, whenever I move it follows me as a shadow in the evenings; last but not least
I didn’t get any sleep, not only it follows me at the eve
But also it hunts my dreams, as if it is the party’s lead
And I run from the beast in my dreams; a hope to the day I’ll set myself free
In the wake of the world’s rogue wave of malignity, I kept on running for years
