    I sleep with night sweats

     Slumbering away from the mind I once had
    tossing, turning, catching glimmers of bad
    haunted by joy that always turns sad
    trying not to get lost in thoughts gone mad

    Standing still, going nowhere, not able to take flight
    back to the wall, lost in a corner, trapped without light
    helpess to it, caught in it, chased by demons of the night
    trying not to loose my soul in the fight

    Grabbing, clutching while falling to the ground
    gasping, hearing wispers of unfamiluar sounds
    passing my ears as I fall to be bound
    trying not to surcomb to a failed heart that wont pound

    Shattered, shaken, I awake drenched in my bed
    my screams feed the hunger of the monsters I dread
    caught in spaces they still hold in my head
    trying not to fall back into their land of the dead.

    I sleep with night sweats

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
