Short night turns into
Long fright
Anxiety
Thoughts
Permeating
Percolating
Before I wake
My mind is awake
Thinking
Thinking
Every angle covered
Every trap exposed
Every possibility discovered
Every motive known
It is in the quiet, the stillness
When my mind settles and my anxiety awakens
I take refuge in my mind
My only friend
Until the end
To ensure I will live
Satisfactorily
To see another 2am.
