Insomnia 101

The dark, heavy blur washes over,
Cackling hideousness,
My ears bleed with voices,
Reality or panic, truth or disease?
Silence... what a precious gem,
A peace like no other,
My eyes burn with barren tears,
Sanity an illusion, black & white or color?
Only louder, blacker, deeper,
Endless as the sea,
My soul gasps for breath,
Surface or submerge, midnight or dawn?
Merry go round in circles,
It stops but I'm still spinning,
My head hits the pillow,
Wide awake & dreaming, goodnight or goodbye?
