Array ( [sid] => 28631 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Sleep [time] => 2003-12-04 21:24:13 [hometext] => ~~ Dont wanna Sleep ~~ [bodytext] => I'm waking up in a cold sweat
the nightmare is a piece of my reality
Black cancer eating away my images
afraid of my own mortality
My heart is bursting through my chest
now wide awake I cannot sleep
Behind closed eyes I still see the horrific display: the grotesque dance of the dead who weep
Hands clenched, frozen in suspended animation
floating in disease, my sickness is adversity
My limbs drawn and tight still I lie
against love and hope I have an immunity
What has become of me; this broken shell of a girl
I tried to resist being trapped in their conformity
Nothing has helped nothing has reached me yet
In the dark I grope for my lost and shattered idenity
Shadows reach and clawl their way over my black soul
Grey swirls of dark clouds evade me as if I have hope after all
Toward the light of reason and warmth the darkness recedes
Sheets are soaked with sweat and tears, a shadow cast on my wall
In and out of sleep the morning dawn approaches
the convulsions have subsided leaving me weeping
A new day has begun, awaiting the night again to face
alone I bear this within, the secret when I am sleeping

I'm waking up in a cold sweat
the nightmare is a piece of my reality
Black cancer eating away my images
afraid of my own mortality
My heart is bursting through my chest
now wide awake I cannot sleep
Behind closed eyes I still see the horrific display: the grotesque dance of the dead who weep
Hands clenched, frozen in suspended animation
floating in disease, my sickness is adversity
My limbs drawn and tight still I lie
against love and hope I have an immunity
What has become of me; this broken shell of a girl
I tried to resist being trapped in their conformity
Nothing has helped nothing has reached me yet
In the dark I grope for my lost and shattered idenity

A new day has begun, awaiting the night again to face
alone I bear this within, the secret when I am sleeping

But why do the dead weep? Surely not because theymiss life, with all the pain in it. Or maybe now they see it from another point of view...
Anyhow, I liked your poem. Very dark, it made me feel cold when I read it.
Take care.
