| The War Within Awake I lie every night Too afraid to close my eyes For fear of the thought if I do I hate the pain and the anguish I go through The silence of the night Deafening beyond belief I stifle a scream Oh why can't this be only a dream? My heart beat is in overload Blood coursing through my veins I feel like I am dying inside The limits of panic are undefined Curled up ever so tight Rocking mechanically back and forth Fighting for my breath Feel my heart pound out of my chest With relentless hours passing It gently subsides An exhausted crumpled heap Fatigue sets in...now I sleep Tara Dalton 2004 |
