Can't sleep

Can't sleep
Can't close my eyes
Can't calm down
I just can't

I can't sleep because of the guilt chewing up my stomach
I can't close my eyes because I'm scared of the things I can't see
I can't calm down because of the constant build of anxiety.
There's no hope

Only a pill will knock me out
Only a night mask will keep my eyes calm
Only a deep breath will calm my anxiety
Nothing else

The pill is hard to swallow, and it fucks with my brain
The mask is too suffocating, I feel like I'm being kidnapped
The deep breath is impossible to come by, my lungs have collapsed.
There's nothing I can do

Why must this happen?
Why do I have to live through this?
Please save me from this hell.
Please save me from myself.

(A/N)
Its 5:04 AM and I'm doing great...
Please kill me I just wanted to sleep.
