Night

I stay awake
Afraid to close my eyes
For the shadows will claim me

I stay awake
Fighting my tiredness
Wishing to feel alive

I fall asleep
The fatigue won again
Sinking into the darkness

I fall asleep
Unable to surface
Trapped in the shadows

I dream of sorrow
Tears drench my cheeks
The nightmares paralyze me

I dream of sorrow
Shaking from the chills
I lay here aching

I wish for strength
A shield of protection
To light my path

I wish for strength
To vanquish my weakness
Bringing me to the surface
