I知 trying to escape my mind, running to the roof.
My sanity痴 something I cannot find, contemplating jumping for proof.
Looking for something to believe in, I plunge toward the impenetrable concrete.
I am unable to find reason, dedicating my heart to destined defeat.
Incapable of coming to a halt, visions of life flashing before me.
I知 unable to escape my fault, wondering what I知 supposed to be.
My collision with substantiality is complete, and I知 finally able to awake.
My hope and blessings were bleak, my heart pounding with anxious ache.
I begin to sleep gradually again, reluctantly shutting my watery eyes at first.
Wondering what I値l dream of then, hoping my dreams are no longer cursed.

This is awesome! I love how you have the confusion felt with insanity and dreams seeming like a curse. I know the fear felt in a nightmare. Good work.
