Tired beyond all compare
Shall I sleep, Should I dare?
Another night safely past
I wonder if this calm shall last

No nightmares in the light of day
Sunshine holds the demons at bay
'To sleep perchance to dream'
One more nightmare and I'll scream

Six days and counting, but no sleep still
Oh Yes I certainly know the drill
Coffee by the buckets, keep the light lit
One more night and my wrists I shall slit

I hear psychosis shall settle around
If enough sleep isn't soon found
Hysterical laughter, acting the fool
Looking wild eyed and starting to drool

It's OK I think no one will care
If I eat with the cats and shave off my hair
Start to look around with a vacant stare
Or even carry on with my Teddy Bear

He follows the shadows of the night
Keeping me up till morning light
He hides in darkness I know not where
My he life he wants, for me he scares

Moon lit times he comes to call
Waiting for my sleep to fall
Knowing that I'm never aware
Of how he came to always be there

But another nights finally past
Maybe sleep I shall find at long last
May Dragons guard my sleep this day
Peacefully keeping the nightmare away

Dragoness,
I have experienced some horrid, reoccuring nightmares in my life...so I must take this poem to heart...Hang in there, they do pass...
