The Voices (Sleeplessness)

by Eibutsina   Jul 23, 2004


I have no peace, I hold no glory
My mind so full of various stories
Thinking words cannot express
Jumbled thoughts, a crowded mess
Mind rushing constantly
Ideas created instantly
Obsessions running at full attack
I can't remember what its like to relax
Numerous things get into my head
Too plentiful to ever be said
A pressure I am unable to contain
Control is difficult to regain
Everything is blurred covered by a cloud
The voices are yelling at me so loud
At other times they don't make a sound
Don't utter at day, it's night where there found
Absorbing my energy make everything bleak
The deepest corners of my mind is where they sneak
Talk to me when I expect it the least
The roaring of an inner beast
Piercing sharpness in my ears
Awakening my deepest fears
Sleepless nights i cannot count
Could never begin to calculate the amount
Don't know how I'm awake through out the day
Cause at night they have so much to say
I'm going crazy i must be insane
They speak night after night and again
I wanna get them away out of my mind
But its like the end of a journey I'll never find
people must think i am so strange
Since the voice started as a person I've changed
I haven't been able to get to sleep
The voices are mine there here to keep
This insomnia has last forever
The voices and I are meant to be together
I guess I've given up the fight
Trying to get to sleep at night...
