Day Through Night

I am having daymares
as I walk through the hours
with this pressure pushing me down

I am having nightmares
when I close my eyes
and drift off into unrest

Like anchors on my shoulders
and weights tied to my feet
I am shuffling
oh so very slowly
I tried to run, but I can't
as I trip over the obstacles
that have risen up
to challenge my peace of mind

I am having daymares
as I sit underneath the sun
trying to catch my breath

I am having nightmares
with my face in the pillow
as my memories burn

This is not a place to be
this is not a state of mind
this is something
that needs to end; now...
