The clock ticks.
I lie awake.
Counting down the seconds,
Minutes,
Hours,
Until daylight will come
And release me
From my nightmares.
Never sleep,
Too scared,
Scared of the monsters in my head,
Of being drawn into that madness,
Sucked into that whirling vortex
That becomes a dream.
I will not give in,
Let it take me.
Can feel it's pull, so strong,
Keeping a hold on my consciousness
Always.
Sleep, sleep sleep...
No!
I open my eyes,
Only to squeeze them tightly shut again,
Back in the nightmare world.
