A silent cause

Yet it doesn't go unnoticed

The tossing and turning you just cant seem to focus.

Gazing up at the night

And even though Darkness is distant

We still fear the light

Sleep drips off the tongue

But fails to reach my head

I feel heaviness on my chest

But I think of what mum said

'My dear, If you breath in and out real deep, you'll surely find yourself induced in sleep'.

I search under the bed

And out the window

There's no one there but,

What do i know?

Ill cry for sleep through silent tears

As the darkness around me consumes my fears.

I'm trapped in the cold

All alone

Not even a thought or a hand to hold.

I tell myself ill sleep some time tomorrow

Or maybe the day after

Those remarks are only followed by continuous laughter.

I've tried to break loose

I tried to break free

But I have to accept my destiny.

Insomnia is here

And its here to stay

So ill sit here and cry

Until that hopeful day

When my enemy is taken

And my eyes can close

Because one thing is certain

This is not what I chose.



A/N ~ Taken me a while to update as i've lost my phone which had around 10-20 new works on there so yeah. Anyway let me know what you think of this more 'slam poetry' style :)
