Insomniac Poem by Vision Ghost

Entrapment state, between the dark and consciousness
Somehow lodged, from the sleep to the awareness
Head is pounding to be asleep, as I cannot stop thinking
Eyes closed in a steeped action, of turning and writhing

Something of the night, time that keeps me this way
Unable to turn myself off and knowing, of the next day
An insanity that creeps over, like this imprisonment
A mind that can’t stop, can’t release this empowerment

So much desperation, to close my eyes and fall away
Weak to be standing, to awake to be facing the dark day
Ticking time relates, to the agony of so many lost hours
Want to embrace the blackness that seemingly, cowers

Impossibility found, in just trying to let it go somehow
Here after many an hour has passed, arm rested on brow
Still wondering, for when the sleep will come for me
The awake won’t leave me, need to find a way to be free

If awake was of the physical anomaly, animated being
I want to beat it down forever, and leave it to its dying
Shatter this atrocity that binds me here, to the waking
The world around sleeps, and I lye in a perpetual turning

Slowly the night turns to morning, and another battle lost
Rising with a pounding head, unrest now fatigue is my cost
Facing the wall of the day, a height that goes to the sky
All I want is sleep; the want is now the need for me to lye

Just can’t make this stop, this wheel that keeps on turning
Grinding on me ‘til my last thread, is now myself breaking
For this day will close, and the time will soon be ending
Another night of sleeplessness, shall be my ghost haunting
