intheshadows Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 The edge of darkness pulls me in . . . deeper and deeper, deeper within. Tossing and turning, lost in confusion. I'm swept away in disaray, Kept within bonds without a way To find the place I wanted to stay. Tossing and Turning, longing and yearning, Trying to find meaning, hot and burning. Aches and Pains, make for a restless night. When sleep grabs, I put of a fight Because I'm afraid, I know what's its like. I pray, I pray, take me away, give me peace please just tonight. Severely sleep deprived, Can't find good rest, It's always the same, The same old game, Just when I finally fall into that dark, dark place . . . I toss and turn and come awake. The aches, the tremors, the mind that won't quit . . . I tried everything, you name it, The drugs, the booze, reading in bed, Tried it all, now I think I'm going crazy, It's making me crazy, hurting my head. Nobody understands, nobody knows why . . . I try to explain, I'm going insane! Link to comment
behind_these_eyes Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 I liked that, sorry I didn't see it when you first posted it. I know how you feel, I can't sleep either. It's the worst feeling in the world, but you illustrated it well. Good job Link to comment
