No rest for the wicked

By Midian

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Sleepless night. Nightmares rule. Fatigue sets in. My life slows down. The river stops flowing. My mind is shattered. My soul has numbed. I am caged within myself. Sleep has become a dream, but how can you dream without sleep? When does it hit you? Deprived of rest. The dementia that kills. As I sit in the radioactive glow, created by my television. Nothing is on. Nothing matters. No rest for me. No redt for the world. Falling away from you all. SCREAMING!! But there is no sound. There is nothing. Nothing but me.
