This needs some interpretation.
I seem to be awake.
I sit bedside, moved by the skies although I do not see them.
Crawl back under sheets and try again.

These shadows are fierce.
Poised with conviction.
Sound as the air I breathe in.
Sensation teases my skin.
How long have I been keeping vision?

Still needs some interpretation.
Hoping for fiction...
In a sense, I've been more alive than those asleep.
An attempt is foreseen to fail again.

These shadows are strong.
Set with a mission.
Working to make me not of sound mind.
Sensation haunts my skin.
How long before I dream for visions?

Weeks.
Or is it really?
I've lost count, is what I understand.

Seems I've talked with phantoms.
This phase lived by a fool.

I'm skipping the time.
My life lived by others.
My mind is degenerating.

To find a key, to solve the puzzle.
It's simple, so it seems.

The room is shrinking.
My head is separating.
Seeing oblivion at this point.
It doesn't bother me.

This dream of reality is real life.

I've forgotten where this ends.
And sleep begins.

Your poem sounds like thoughts one would have just before going to sleep. Very nice..
