Narcoleptic

I live between two realms oppressively trapped,
By force unseen long held repressively trapped.

Never feel I alive and fully present;
Halfway in Land of Nod recessively trapped.

Tethered to a plane I can never escape,
Endless doomed to remain impressively trapped.

Constant is my struggle for coherency,
By hand of Morpheus depressively trapped.

Always I phase amid bleak unconsciousness,
By underworld of dreams possessively trapped.

Sometimes am I seized by force invisible,
Strong in paralysis suppressively trapped.

I tire of this wrestle for consistency,
Forever snapping back successively trapped.

When will Zahaar ever rise forth emergent,
Or shall he timeless be regressively trapped.

Like your use of the form,
didn't have the tendency to nod off at all,
repeating forms can be difficult
You made it breeze

trapped. Well i hope you dont truly feel this way.. sounds like a depressing outlook on life.. nevertheless, this is a fine display of thoughtfulness

Love is God. Love is war. Love is what your life is for.
