Die Trying

Slowly drifting,
I'm floating away,
On my dream boat,
Far enough to say,
'Ha! I've escaped...',
Flashes flow,
Soon the dream,
It turns ice cold,
Into a hallow,
Scary thing,
A nightmare,
Haunting me,
I'll run hard,
And run far,
I'll look for a place,
To hide my tired face,
To sleep for days,
To take the pain away,
To tear off the fake face,
I put on everyday,
I need a safe house,
I need someone's HELP,
Take away the thoughts,
The dreams,
The terrors of it all,
Help me sleep,
Without worry,
Without the ghostly child,
Without the very wild,
Adventures of my head,
I just want to crash,
And not burn,
When I go to bed,
Do you hear this?
My cry for help,
My worried plea,
Come on,
I'll bargain with you,
If you'll just HELP ME!
I'll take anyone's hand,
If you'll guide me,
To a safe haven,
Away from my,
WILD imagination,
I'll cry,
I'll weep,
I just need some PEACEFUL SLEEP!
Is that TOO much to ask?!
I like to think 'No',
But who I am to say,
My head just does,
What it wants anyway,
So I'll just take it,
Like a woman,
And face it,
I'll die trying,
Just to sleep,
Sleep without crying,
Without dying,
And wake up,
Still being ME...
