Insomnia

I've never been so tired
dry eyes begging for salvation
lay awake for hours trapped inside my head
staring at the ceiling, praying that tonight I'll be okay
praying that for once I'll fall asleep
ease the nightmare of reality

I've given up all hope of ever sleeping soundly,
trapped inside of every thought I've ever had
remembering my past, screaming with my mouth shut
seeing things in the shadows
I can't breathe, my paranoid mind won't let me go.
