Deepest Darkness Poem by William King Jr.

No longer will I ever sleep
Letting the cousin of death lay with me
Draping the blanket of my sins
Over the corpse of what I used to be
My eyes are wide shut
Staring through the dreams of the day
Looking at the plain ceiling
As my life slowly fades away
No longer do I move
Glued to this position I stay
Every inch of my body hurts
So I stay to avoid the pain
Tears slowly roll down my cheek
As I fear for the morning ahead
Not knowing if I close my eyes
Would I wake up dead?
Still, sleep is what will happen
Paranoia, fear and dread
My feelings are all misleading
My thoughts only in my head
