Old art with my OC Spike from 2021
---
What if something associated with comfort and coziness brought you only pain and despair?
What if one of your basic life functions didn’t work as it should?
Spike’s relationship with sleep is complicated. He is an excellent swordsman but daily exercise is nothing compared to his real struggle. Every conscious moment of his life is a battle with his condition. It’s always at the back of his mind, the enemy he wishes he could face with a sword in his hand. Making him helpless and vulnerable. He would give anything for just one day of wakefulness. But sleep never brings Spike any relief, only restlessness and nightmares.
Against my will, I have to fall
Sweet embraces for others
For me, it is enemy foul
A child finds rest in the arms of its mother
I found a void that’s stealing my soul
I cannot speak, can’t find a word
How to avoid my oppressor’s sword?
Wounds hurt, but nightmares take
My peace, that is a reason to wake
