Day 6: Sleep

Sleep

Sometimes at night, my body shakes

It's terrible

These tremors

They just keep coming

Flashes of heat and it all goes black

It's terrible

These tremors

Another unescapable nightmare

It's terrible

Every corner I turn, there's another terror awaiting me

There's no way out until I awake

And these tremors

Insomnia is my favorite drug

Though, after a while it makes the world spin

Soon I must sleep and then wake again in the night

It's terrible

These tremors

Can't fight myself

It's terrible

Every night

Over and over

These tremors

When will they stop?

When will I rest?

These tremors

It's terrible

Not much to say on this one. It's a little darker, more repetitive, but that's pretty much it.

Hmm. It seems kind of gothic, but at the same time- this kind of applies to my life O.o

Of course, i don't often have nightmares, but my room is freezing (especially in the winter) and I usually stay up really late (like I am now) so then when I try to go to sleep all the cold just kinda bites me and i start shivering until the heat collected under my blanket warms me up.

Okay yeah this comment was probably highly unnecessary. Just a little fun fact I guess :P IDK i liked the repetitiveness (but that's because i have a thing for motifs and little things like that).
