Scare the Insider: 2nd Place Winner
Insomnia:
I can’t sleep, I can’t blink, I can’t dream
Day by day, I feel tired and not a bay
The sky is always gray and my eyes barely awake
I tried to meditate
Even as far as to medicate
Pills swallowed just to suffocate
But my body always feels awake
I can’t sleep, I can’t blink, I can’t dream
My eyes get darker each day
The ray of the sunshine can barely put a color on my face
I feel like a skeleton walking endlessly in a fray
Flies inhabiting my body like a dead fish in a tray
What can I say?
I barely have enough energy to fight them away
Honestly, I want them to stay
I want my flesh to be eaten, oh yay!
My body could finally rest, oh chantey!
But god, oh why!
My flesh is dying, but I feel the pain all the way!
My body decomposing but my soul stays!
I can’t sleep, I can’t blink, I can’t dream
I am sorry I have forsaken thee
As a sinner, please forgive me
I apologize for all those atrocities
To all those innocent people at 1943.
