Night Terrors

Too restless to sleep

Too anxious to succumb

surrender to the night

A discordant lullaby

of banging bass drums
collude to torment
my strained consciousness

Swirling life scenarios replayed

A second guess doubt symphony

Mixed with future

forks in the roads scenarios

All lead to the same insomnia obscenity


Sweat stains paint my soaked bed sheets

A mocking masterpiece of unfulfilled dreams

All because I can't turn off my frickin brain
