 Penciled Thoughts

Lost in sleep


Lucid dreams scream at me
Tearing my very soul.
Fear seeps into my mind
It says I'm growing old.

I've searched to world over.
Just to find the answer.
But doubt infect my mind
Consumed by this cancer.

Can I find peace in sleep
One that quiets my mind?
The one that will save me
But that's a waste of time.

Confidence that's needed
Is rushing out the door.
Why can't I stop this thing
That nails me to the floor?

The facts are plain to see
Sleeplessness the trend
Nothing seems to help me
It haunts me to the end

 Loneliness the reason
I'm caught within this cage
It covers all my hopes
I'm screaming out in rage.

Words are insufficient
They seem so very bare
The nightmares that plague me
Makes me no longer care.

Purple shades of evening  
Will not give me a break.
The sanity that's left
Is lost in what is fake.
