Insomnia
by Amy Price

When darkness sets in
The silence creeps in
Throughout this night
Insanity causes fright
Alone I ponder
And let my mind wander
The only light I see
Is the light within me
But my light is fading
Therefore my life is dissipating
I stare aimlessly at nothing
Foolishly thinking it will get me something
In the back of my mind I hear a faint cry
A cry that makes me want to die
The cold floor beneath me
Causes an erie feeling within me
Inside my incoherent mind
I feel there is no way I can hide
Because I don't want people to see
See the degree of lonliness in me
But now the shattered sunlight creeps in
So now my life horridly will begin
Inside I feel so hollow
So hollow that I can barely swallow
But I get up and go the extra mile
And put on my untruthful smile
I go through the day
Trying to wash those memories away
But now the hellish fright of night is back again
And so my seemingly endless nightmare will begin all over again
