ALMOST!

(INSOMNIA HUANTS MY NIGHTS
WHILE DAYDREAMS CONSUME MY DAYS
THIS CONFLICT PUTS MY MIND IN A DAZE
FRUSTRATION BLINDS MY SIGHT)

(SHARP PAIN AT THE BASE OF MY SKULL
FLOWING DOWN THE RIVER OF DECEIT
THE DEVIL, FOR THIS RIDE SOLD ME MY SEAT
ALL FEELING NUMBS AND GOES DULL)

WAIT!!! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE??
THIS FEELING OF FEAR!

TRYING TO FOCUS AND SEE
IN THE MIRROR, THAT REFLEXION IS NOT ME

THAT’S A BROKEN MAN
IN THE SPOT WHERE I SHOULD STAND

NO MATTER THE PAIN AND STRIFE
THERE IS NO REASON TO TAKE YOUR OWN LIFE

I WANT TO HAVE A WIFE, MAYBE A SON
SO CALM DOWN AND PUT AWAY THAT GUN

IT’S FUNNY HOW IN THE SPEED OF THOUGHT
I ALMOST LOST A BATTLE I NEVER FOUGHT

TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY
SO CALM DOWN AND PUT THAT GUN AWAY

IT’S NOT THAT BAD THAT I NEED TO END IT ALL
RING! RING! RING! I BETTER ANSWER THAT CALL

HELLO?...OH HI MOM…….

The Demons come out at night. You are not alone. It happens to the good ones too. I do my best writing when the demons come out to play. get up and go with it. Tap into the reason why and start writing. If you fade back to sleep the thought will be gone forever.

Holy hell that's AMAZING. Very relateable, in my case. And the end is what I call epic! Well done. I can never come up with good rhyming powms, which makes yours all the better in my eyes.

it doesn't have to rhyme. Your heart will do that for you

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
