Political Insomnia
I cannot sleep through the night.
Every dreaming moment's a nightmare.
This election is terrifying me.
I'm on the edge of my sanity.
My heart is eternally tachycardic.
I think I'd put a bullet into my skull
If McCain got elected.
The sweat pours over me like
A thin membrane of water.
Can I please drown?
Author notes
No hidden meaning, sorry. This has just been devastatingly depressing to me.

Yeah, it can happen alot... we are kinda in a bad situation for the election this year, I don't believe tat either candidate has the competance to fix the fanancial, or foreign issues. But other than my thoughts, this is a good write about some real issues that could lead to a really bad situation if the wrong choice is made.
Good luck during judging.
