Poem: As I lay in the dark
Waiting for sleep to sweep me away
My racing mind travels to subconscious fields
To play.
Instead of going to peaceful, colorful places
Demons drag it to dark, horrible places
Places of death
Places of chaos
Places that are supposed to be hidden
From my conscious mind.
It tries to break free
But the monsters hold strong
I''m scared
I''m sad
I cry
For my racing mind grows weary of this game
It doesn''t want to go back there
And it will fight
But my body needs rest
Needs peace
And so I lay in the dark
Waiting for sleep to sweep me away....
