Insomnia

Those

Scenes

I see

When I lay

Asleep

Try so hard

To fall in deep

To rest

Next day

To be

Refreshed

What is this

Mess?

I seek

Progress...

But see my

Stress

As your

Face

It's dressed

When I’m

Awake

I’m

Convalesced

I boast success

They

Acquiesce

I scream,

“I’m blessed!”

Nevertheless

You appear

Again

And I

Regress...

To close

My eyes

Just

Brings me

Stress

Is this a

Test?

Well, maybe...

Yes

Need to address

What’s been

Suppressed..

But

What is it, though?

I mean...

Unless

I’m lying right down

To my core

Believing

I crave you

No more

On the surface

I

Look so

Restored

But inside

Rages on this

War

Am I done yet?

Sure...

Showed him the

Door

But these

Constant

Dreams

Hard to

Ignore

Like

Brain

Bacteria

A sprouting

Spore

I disinfect

End up

With

More

But

I digress

And must

Confess

That as far

As east is

To the west

I’m over you

You’re just a

Pest

A nightmare...

That's all

I’m not impressed

You might win

This one

But not the

Rest

A parasite

But I’m not

Your host

When I open

My eyes

You’re still a

Ghost

My Physician

Says I’ve

Been

Diagnosed

With

Flashbacks of

Unequal yoke

To remind

Myself

When you

Approach

That

Constant prayer

Is my

Antidote

I’ll sleep

Again

And you’ll

Encroach...

But your

Powers

Are

USELESS

When I’m

WOKE
