Losing Sleep

Sleep...
It's calling,
Yet I can't reach it,
I'm still falling.
Falling into my mind,
Into my imagination,
Trapped in my thoughts.
Dark thoughts.
Horrid thoughts.
Thoughts that shouldn't exist,
So why are they there?

Oh, wait...
I remember now...
Those thoughts aren't merely thoughts.
They are words once heard,
Spoken long ago,
But never forgotten.

Why are they coming up now?
Stop it
STOP IT
STOP IT!!!
Silence...
Quiet, but not peace...

The sad part is, I don't know which is worse.
Absurd comments and insecurities
Or demoralizing silence...
