This is Me

Closed Eyes

I am tired

So drained my eyes close themselves

but I will not sleep

Memories tattooed to the insides of my eyelids

Playing like a motion picture

I am nothing but condemned

to relive and relive and relive the horrors

the thoughts

the comments

With no pause

Or eject

I am stuck

With nothing to calm my overactive imagination

Dreams turned to nightmares

While I am still awake

Because I am always awake

Even with closed eyes
