Sometimes I can’t sleep,
It has been a lot more frequent lately;
I get scared so I don’t sleep,
sometimes my nightmares are too strong to handle.
Sometimes I feel like my body weighs 10 times more,
and I just want to close my eyes and dream of whatever I dreamed of as a kid;
almost everyday I wish that my nightmares were of a dragon and a witch;
now the dragon has become something else and the witch as well.
3:00 am I can’t sleep, my eyes hurt, my head feels heavy,
I just want to fall asleep, but I know that I can’t go to sleep, not until I stop seeing her.
I’m just melting in the back of my brain waiting to be rescued,
waiting to be saved.
Sometimes,
almost every day,
I wake up sweating like I just ran a marathon, breathless, scared, numb;
the worst is that I don’t know what it is or why it happens,
and every night I get even more scared it will happen again.
