Insomnia

I lay here quietly on my bed,
Restlessly looking out the window at the sunrise.
The time on my cell says it's 6: 30 A.M.,
But it still feels like it's still night time.

The words "Help me" runs through my head,
Echoing with a hint of a raspy scream behind it.
I won't ever forget how I became this way:
An insane woman with never ending nightmares...

I'll only sleep a bit of the morning away,
Barely enjoying the happy dreams that'll never happen...
Dark circles form under my empty eyes slowly every day,
Showing my misery on the outside finally.

I fall over on the floor in exhaustion,
Worrying my own best friend deeply.
I just want to sleep enough like the old times,
But the fear inside keeps me from sleeping the darkness away...

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I always end up sleeping like over 6 in the morning everyday and sleep until 12 in the afternoon. I can't help but stay this way since I'm scared of having nightmares at night...

Not sure what you believe, but try saying this before you go to bed:

Grant me a quiet night, O Lord,
and give me rest,
for I am tired and need sleep.
Watch over me with love
in the silence of night
and let me rest in you
like a child in its mother's arms.
I place my trust in you,
my God.
Amen.
