The Power of Insomnia

The power of insomnia
Eyes wide open
Yet I am still dreaming of the self
In a different reality.

The onset of paranoia
Body lies still
Yet I can sense the line of vision
In this all-consuming darkness.

The force of catatonia
Ears tightly covered
Yet I am still listening to the footsteps
With fearful obedience.

The power of insomnia
Nervous system down
Yet I can feel her existence
With paradoxical reassurance.
