As I awoke

I used to think of sleeping
as my respite from being awake
but these unrelenting nightmares
are more than I can take

I don't like being conscious
and being asleep is getting worse
what used to be my break from life
is slowly becoming my curse

Every day I think about
my pain and my confusion
and instead of breaks from all these thoughts
I have a nightly new delusion

I don't know how much more I can take
of this nightly newfound strain
before I find myself consumed
by the confusion and the pain
