I Don't Sleep (Z?)

by Tenna D. - Sagittarius

Yes, that's right
Sleep, Pointless
waste of time
scary.
Soul less.
lifeless.

What's the point
of becoming vulnerable inside your own body
vulnerable to yourself
to your mind

stuck inside yourself
where you cannot run
nor hide
as the night passes you by.

Haunted by the fading memories
that seem so dark during the day
so far away you think
they could never stain your vision once more
with their blood red tinge
and naked sorrows.

But during the night
while sleeping
guilt overwhelms you
like a sickening wave of torture
like drowning in a pool of your own blood
like suffocating yourself with your own hand.

Sleep takes away the little assurance with the world
you have left
when you wake you find yourself unsure
of what happened in that time
if you are really still alive
if the situation has not changed.

Sleep is for those who wish to leave
this world
and for some, to stay with it.

Me?
I don't sleep.
Z?

Reason for writing:

    I really don't sleep.
