My Sleep

Every night when I try to sleep,
I always start to silently weep.
Thoughts and feeling flood my mind,
Ones I would rather never find.
I hardly sleep with out nightmares,
Or other unthinkable scares.
Never do I sleep well,
From the look in my eyes you can tell.
Ever dream I have is sad,
I'm sure they will soon drive me mad.
I wish I would not think at all,
That my mind would be as blank as a wall.
When ever it is that I wake,
My pillow is like it was dipped in a lake.
I wish for once I could sleep peacefully,
That in my dreams I could be free.
