Non-sleeping Dream

Celestial calm inducing sleep
or so I think
Mystical words awaken inside
and slumber paralyses
as the battle rages within
I call out to you
yet you do not hear me
and with hindsight, I know
you can't and won't help
I lie still in distress
the Astral Demon alive
in old, frail, glass houses
it lives and breathes and torments
I wake again and again
yet I do not
An illusion of hope and escape
from my warring soul
It looks peaceful from afar
those hypnotising words
of prophecy and insight
stirring the fight
invoking the struggle
that lies beneath
I have woken again
or have I?
Is this real now?
Exhausted, I have not slept
Just anaesthetised and possessed
