Insomnia

Awake in the dark, dead of night
Eyes looking over shadow-ridden shapes
Eerie silence echoing
Pounding on eardrums,
The oppressing dark
Threatening to suffocate.

Must swim free of this black ocean,
Of the waves tugging me under.
Battle for hours,
Fighting for freedom
Can’t lose now…

At dawn’s first light,
Overpowering the murky gloom,
Fatigued eyes lower…
Ever so slowly close…

Peace is mine.

A/N: I wasn't sure where to post this one...hopefully miscellaneous works...
