Burning like wild fire
I can't sleep
I keep on thinking
Finding it hard to breathe
My eyes are open,
I'm fully awake...
I want to scream for help
But everything seems vague
I think I'm going through a plague
Where I'm trapped in my own dreams
I can't come out of it
Even tho it seems fake
I wake up to pray
But nothing seems to be working
I feel betrayed by my own body
Or is it something else that's lurking
I realize I'm sweating heavily
In these dreams where a monster keep chasing me
Leave me alone... I shout in my head
But it doesn't seem to be working
What have I done wrong?
I ask myself utterly sunken
There is still hope, i try to convince myself
There are pains but more gains
The benefits are more worthy, at least
When will they finally leave me alone
I want to be at peace
They diagnosed me with insomnia as my most common disease
I watch everyone around me
Forgive me but I watch in envy
When will I be able to sleep naturally
I've done pills, milk, and yoga
But nothing seems possible
Truly is there a rainbow at the end of the tunnel?
When will all these nightmares just be mere dreams? And all these cold nights I can't sleep just be memories? trying to survive
Throughout all my life
Breathing, thinking
I've finally realized, an insomniac I'm meant to be
