Nights & Revelations
The night seems endless, tranquil.
I‘m not myself anymore...
Peaceful
Night has dawned
But I cannot fall asleep
It isn’t the same anymore...
The long wavelength of chatter flow across the distance of the room,
and into me
I long to understand the mystery of the bleak darkness.
Was there an unholy monster lurking in the dark, waiting for me to inch closer?
I can’t sleep
Do you understand?
Thoughts,
Like a depressing lullaby
Lingers in my mind
If the brain is an uncompromising piece of machinery,
Why can’t it shut off?
It continues to pound at me like a hungry, desperate wolf,
attacking at full force.
My chest heaves up and down,
Steady with rhythm,
My breathing soon smoothens,
It’s a red herring,
I cannot fall asleep
I can’t sleep
I want to sleep
Days and nights
Days and nights
I hold out a humble hand,
I struggle with the darkness, unwilling to let it engulf me
Suddenly, my body swells up
the bed has turned into the den of the hideous monster!
It wants to entrap me in eternal solitude
My heartbeat accelerates,
My defense mechanism turns on,
I’m ready to fight
I’m stepping in,
Caged
In rage
Alone
I can’t sleep
I shut my eyes tight,
But my brain is still—
Wide awake
At night
The world is silent
I see it with more clarity
I wake
I lay back down
And the night will passThe night seems endless, tranquil.
