Phoenix

Sleep evades me
Nightmares await me
I'm scared to sleep

Worries sadden me
Doubts confuse me
I start to weep

Tears drown me
Coldness around me
I'm sinking deep

Hopelessness haunts me
Depression grabs me
I squeeze closed my eyes

Pressure envelopes me
Tension suffocates me
And yet, I'm surprised

While cruelty chases me
And strength's sucked out of me 
Somehow I know

I will not die
