2 a.m
Suddenly awakened from sleep
Gasping for air, fast heartbeat
Drenched in cold sweatBreathe deeply and heavily
You still haunt me, why?I try to sleep again
But I can't
Sleep anxiety
Ruining my lifeThe idea of sleep, scares me
I've come to hate sleepingEveryday
Repeatedly
Again and again
Many timesNightmares
Please, go away from me
I just want to sleep sanctuary
Peacefully
