So late at night, I lie awake unable to sleep. Just the light from the tv fills my room With the sound from the stereo unsilencing the dark. The thoughts won't stop when the pounding begins It hurts so bad, but it keeps coming. I roll over, still awake. Time is passing by Hour after hour Minute after minute Second after Second And still, in the cold winter's early morn, I'm still awake. The thoughts of today envelop my mind harder. My head feels as though it were to explode. I start telling myself to make the pain go away, It fails. It's becoming closer to the time of awakening and I have yet to fall into that dream I've always dreamed of. The dream of tomorrow where everyone is peaceful, everyone is happy. But inside my head, I know that will never be. So I must wait with the rest in hopes that one day, dreams really do come true. "They say that truth will set you free, but then so will a lie. It all depends if you're trying to get to the promised land or just trying to get by." [This message has been edited by WindSong (01-07-2005 12:50 AM).] |

j0. So... is this another thing you were writing the other night? Either way, it's really good. I hate those nights, when you just can't stop thinking... thats why I stay up so late. I exhaust myself to the point where I just pass right out. Sorry I upset you with my last poem. I'm not that far gone yet. And things will start getting better, so hopefully no worries!

I hate it...it happens so often now. I can't sleep unless I write out my head. "Stand still awhile and dream of the times when your heart felt full." ~Reina Nash~ R.I.P. 9*6*04 |

"Time is passing by Hour after hour Minute after minute Second after Second And still, in the cold winter's early morn, I'm still awake." I loved this poem!! When i am unable to sleep I think ok if you fall asleep now you will get six hours of sleep and I keep doing that until I fall asleep. It makes me nuts! Jezzika you know he really wants me |
