I Fear I Won't Wake Up Today

The whispering that hums in my mind,

My thoughts are too complex, I find.

So I just sleep to ease the nerves.

They creep on me and I don't deserve,

The waves that tear at,

And shower darkness within me.

And though you know I am scared of ghosts,

Know I am sick when I seek refuge in the night,

With them so I cannot hear you.


I've died too many times, I say,

I fear I won't wake up today.

Cover my ears and block out the noise,

That causes me to shudder, I detest,

The shadows you cast is where I rest,

I cannot be numb,

I'm drawn by your voice,

There is still so much I see,

The weakness that eats at me.


I've lost the promises I couldn't keep,

Regretful thinking that's instilled, too deep,

that rips at my wounds,

It endlessly seeps,

Through the ivory bed sheets,

Where I try to sleep,

And I cannot run from myself.

Instead I continue to fall into,

the complexity of my thoughts.
