| Insomnia  [+ favourites]
Sleep has now become a luxury..
Awaiting that long needed retreat to dreamland
where nothing really matters; not a care in the world
a temporary exclusion from the world around you..
Stripped of your blanket of comfort
Stripped of your conscious thoughts
Drained to the point of emergency..
resorting to continue on auto-pilot.
the physical being, roaming aimlessly
the mental being, drunk of delusion..
Like a starving kid on the street..
begging for their next warm meal
restless mind crossing the bridge to insanity
begging for an escape of reality..
Questioning the movie playing before your eyes..
the waking life blended with a mix of fantasy
living the foundation of magic - an illusion
Struggling to piece together a believable show..
Thoughts an ideas check in with no call back..
slipping away like a familiar face
frustration filling your body with no recollection
and they fade away forever without a trace..
Comfort has become a long lost friend..
remembering the vague, relaxing memories
now is nothing more than a superficial wish
the weights just keep piling on your eyelids..
There comes a time when the lights go off..
the drunk mind closes up shop for the moment
and the calm breeze begins to set it
bordering a state of unimaginable relief ..
The word - sleep - melts the mind from exhaustion..
slowly falling into the gasp of salvation
Open arms cradle your bruised soul
awaiting to savor every taste of heaven..
A luxury only the stimulated mind could truly appreciate..
precious hours of grace are never wasted
waiting to be let loose of these blistering chains
waiting to bask in limitless freedom..
As the days pass me by as a mere substitution
off to sleep to continue the next chapter of that perfect fairy tale...
"I'm a human being, God Dammit!! My life has value!!!"
