Unwavering Pain

I really don't know how much more I can take. This mental anguish has got to be a mistake. I see shadowy forms flit across the room Their menacing presence fills me with doom. I know it's me they've come to terrorize. All I can do is lay here I am paralyzed. I know it's in my head but I can't get away The night is my enemy I'm begging for day. When dawn breaks the shadows are gone I can lay my head down And get the sleep for which I long. ©Manic Angel
