It caresses me, holds me,
May be my friend.
I lie and I reach,
Night after night without end.
It lets me escape,
As I toss and I turn.
The world spinning faster,
Instead I have learned.
With the force of my movement,
This fight I've won for tonight.
As I lie alone,
Again comes the light.
I awaken glistening in sweat,
With all of the raging where did I get?
Sweat mingled with tears in this battle I've waged,
I feel like an animal partially caged.
A droplet runs across the center of my rising chest.
Would I have noticed had I not tried to catch my breath?
