Sleep without rest
or rest without sleep.
It feels like my soul is devouring me,
from within.
Like my thoughts are nipping at the soles of my feet,
I begin.
Scrunching up my legs to pull them away
from the edge
of the bed.
Away from the monsters beneath that wish to
drag me under with them.
In eternal darkness.
Except,
Too bad they don't know.
That's where I already reside.
