No more sleep
Night or day it does not matter when,
I'd rather not fall asleep again.
The night has me captured in dreams so obscene,
I awake breathless and submerge un-clean.
My mind is weeping with sorrow thoughts of my nighttime scare,
my days all through will never be bare.
All the thoughts that have me awake insane,
will stop me from sleeping in the day.
My nights will be long with me kept awake,
afraid to fall asleep and dream the dreams that once woke me breathless and submeged un-clean.
The day all through will want me to sleep,
I will tell my mind no and continue to weep.
I'd rather not fall asleep again.
The night has me captured in dreams so obscene,
I awake breathless and submerge un-clean.
My mind is weeping with sorrow thoughts of my nighttime scare,
my days all through will never be bare.
All the thoughts that have me awake insane,
will stop me from sleeping in the day.
My nights will be long with me kept awake,
afraid to fall asleep and dream the dreams that once woke me breathless and submeged un-clean.
The day all through will want me to sleep,
I will tell my mind no and continue to weep.

I can relate strongly to this. It's like sleep is torture every night with what cannot be unseen. Great job with the rhyme. The really long line threw me off for the rhythm, but otherwise it's a great write.
