In a life
somnambulant
visions sometimes
come to play

not suicidal. no
i've grown too strong
or is it stubborn?
for them
to pierce me. yes

there are other things
escapes
escapes

behind my eyes
there are scratches
from where these
things claw through

i feel them
everytime i blink
staring blankly at a screen
it's 5 am no sleep in site

thanks peppermint sorry you couldn't sleep either

Sandra you'll be glad to know i slept a whole two hours..yaay. I fell asleep around 7 and woke up at around nine to the sound of a naighbour drilling into the wall..this lasted for oh 3 hours.

Somnambulance kris is the act of sleepwalkin.. the poem is deals with both my lack of sleep and sleepwalking through life

I know Dixie we've shared many a late nite posting session

Kaoru life is bad enough, life without the breather..damn

Liz it's the only way to go..crazy seems to make more and more sense in a world like this..

You know what is ironic . . .
I was looking at this  
exactly when you posted it
and just stared at the screen
shaking my head thinking
the same thoughts
