I dug my own grave

-
I always have dreams almost every night (falling or jumping from high places, losing all my teeth,  dreaming of being late at school, etc) but this dream is different. It's like I’m aware I’m dreaming but there’s nothing I can do to wake up or to make it stop. I was 15 or 16 at the time. I was in a boarding house near my school and I have 4 roommates. The 4 of us share the same room, the room has 2 bunk beds. We have our own restroom and a kitchen. For 4 - 5 days I keep on dreaming of my college Professor whom I dislike. He is so bossy and loves to order us around to do things that are not school related. In my dream, he’s shouting at me and ordering me to carry different things. On the first night, I was carrying a lot of books. Next night I was carrying garden tools like a shovel, watering can, gloves, and plant seeds. This continued for 2 - 3 nights and every time I woke up my arms hurt and they were shaking as if I carried heavy stuff. I am so confused why am I dreaming of him!

Insomnia (Short Poem)

-
Sleepless nights, endless thoughts 
Wandering mind on how tomorrow will go
Counting sheep, from one to none.

Beating heart, my pulse at peace 
finally a good night sleep
ticking clock, waking me up
then a flashing light, in the corner of the window
in a split second
I'm wide awake than ever.

The same process goes, 
too tired to get up
I want to sleep
My eyes are tired and teary
hands are numb and shaky.

Lights are all gone
the only thing present is the clock
in the corner.

Kept on ticking 
as if it's breathing
too weary to count sheep
As I close my eyes the clock alarms
and it's already time to get up.

Feeling uneasy
my body is so heavy
my eyes are not ready.

Rewind 'till next night.
