Another Sleepless Night

Another sleepless night.
Mind on overdrive full of thoughts of the unknown.
Nightmares becoming reality.
Dreams none existent.
Demons linger near ready to attack as soon as my guard comes down.
Another sleepless night,
Haunted by my demons inside of me.

Pour another drink to fade away all feelings of being alive.
Whiskey in my cup.
100 proof as strong as it can get.
Music in my ears,
Mind fading to another place; another time.
Left all alone wanting out.
Out of this life,
Out of today,
Out of this world full of demons that haunt me inside.

Another sleepless night fighting the demons inside.
Memories strong screaming in my mind.
Never letting me forget.
Pour another drink to drown out my past.
Only to have it come back full force.
Stuck in my mind.
Wishing for happier days,
New memories of better days.
When will all the pain end?
Looking for that happy place where i'm safe and no longer gotta hide.
No more running,
No more drowning.
Theses memories that scream in my head.
Fighting demons stronger then I can handle.
Fighting unending battle of heart ache and pain.
Another sleepless night,
My mind fully awake.
Pour another drink to drown out the demons that scream into my ear.
A new day,
A new start....
Until night comes and I lay my head to rest.
Mind becomes restless and haunted by the past full of pain and heart ache.
So strong and still very alive.
Hoping for better days that will rid me of all this pain.
..........another sleepless night......
