Awake
Awaking with bolts of sweatwhen i never really slept.
Breathing becomes heavy
and balance becomes unsteady.
Vision starts to seem unclear
as surroundings start to disappear.
Beneath my eyelids I only see red
with flashing, violent images in my head.
A snake moves quickly in the grass.
My breath suddenly stops as I pass.
This is all I can think of. Is this a sign
that shows the true thoughts I hide behind?
My anger and depression,
constant saddness and aggression.
All my thoughts lead to violence,
but I only sit here in silence.
Suddenly im too tired to try.
Im ready to tell the world good-bye.
Life still goes by anyway
and i'm still lying here awake.
