Wonderland

Nanda Regine

I wonder when sleep will crawl up on meJust to leave the promise of seductionTo ease tensions distorted by stressI wonder againWhen will rest take camp in my mind?Settling in... only to be eliminatedEliminated by the wars of my conscienceThen I realizedSleep refused to tread on predatory premisesGround that screamed "danger"MeIf rest ceases to exist within my soul,Fatigue being the conqueror as I fightThe skeletons in my closet will take overNoThey cannot winThey've held me captive for too longIt's themWho have overdosed me with restlessnessIt's themSo, I retired from the wondersAnd settled for the reality that...I can't sleep
