A good nights sleep

As I lie here,
silence and waiting,
the darkness starts to overtake me.
I struggle to keep my eyes open,
I struggle for the fear of what I see in my dreams.
My meds are taking over,
I start to drift off,
until the voice in my head screams "stop!"
I sit bolt upright,
I check the clock.
I raise my face to the brightening sky, and pray to all things holy.
Pray that tomorrow night my dreams will not haunt me,
and then I'll get a good nights sleep for once.
