Far from Sleep
Folder:
Feelings I lay in my bed in the basement.
But I’m far from sleep.
I hold my pillow on top of me,
For my own special protection.
It protects me from the things that haunt my mind.
I can't close my eyes, for I don’t like what I see.
My music stops. Oh no!! Must turn it back on.
Or the silence will swallow me up.
I close my eyes, trying to shut out the horrors.
But I can't.
I see hideous monsters, slimy, with a giant maw.
And many other things.
I finally get to sleep, but they don’t go away.
