Eyelids drooping, chilling breeze blowing, body tired how I look forward to my sleep Eyelids closed, am all wrapped up n all snuggly lookin forward to some sweet sleep Then am toasting and am turning. Nothing near my desired sweet sleep. Its all dark it always is.. I know not where I am n why am all alone. Its dark n I feel lost. I wanna escape but I cant. I know not where I am or why am there. Am trying to escape but I cant am running but there seems to be no exit. Am struggling but my efforts seem pointless. Am battling but am being overpowered. And yet it remains dark. Why is it always dark? Why does it always turn dark before my struggle begins? Why cant I find the light? And just when am beginning to give up, just when I begin to acknowledge am losing the battle, I open my eyes to find myself in my dark room on my bed. I almost cry for it’s the same thing almost every night. I try to think the most pleasnt thoughts befor letting my tiredness overcome me. But no matter how pleasant, I always end up in the dark struggling, battling. I almost cry, I almost deny to close my eyes. But nature calls n I have to respond and slip into my dark battle. If only I could cheat nature.. What had been so pleasurable to me feels now like a torture, one which I dread every night, one which I long to end though I know not how… |
