Insomnia

My mind is full, bursting at the seams.
I can't even escape with my dreams.

No matter where I go, I cannot hide.
How do you run from your mind?

I can close my eyes tight,
And wonder what silence sounds like.

Words scream, amidst a million more.
I cannot sleep, inside this war.

I must admit, I love the sharp twisting and burning.
I must admit, I am addicted to
The sound of the gears turning. 

A poem I thought of in the wee hours of the morning. Insomnia is the bane of my existence.
