Darkness
threatens to attack me
It comes when the night descends
This is the time when I reflect and seek
forgiveness
for all of my sins
Trying to relieve my mind of this feeling of uneasiness
But it never leaves me
All through the night I am tossing restlessly while I feign sleep, Just so this
darkness wont grip me by my awake body
I pretend that I am helpless and weak
So it wont challenge me or engage me in a battle I know I wont win,
Hoping it has pity on me because after all I am fast asleep.
What cowardly night would dare attack the sleeping? I am asking myself this repeatedly as my body is quivering and I am weeping.
I realize it is not the night itself that brings upon this fear, Rather, it is what can possibly happen on this night when I lay here on my bed.
My mind pretending to be resting while turmoil seizes this head Shall I return while I sleep on this night?
I will not succomb to sleep
Tiredness I will fight
I tell mylself I am never going to fall into this dark abyss they call sleep,
So when I am in this state, away from me, my soul will not sneak
