A little poem on Insomnia :)

Ten pm I'll try and sleep

Why not try by counting sheep?

Why do I think this will ever work

All left now is to lay and weep

Eleven o'clock and so it seems

I still haven't entered the land of dreams

I'll close my eyes, I'll get there soon

It's truly a place I can forget my gloom.

Midnight arrives, I am still awake

I dont know how much more I can take

Please let me sleep, I long to dream

Escape the piercing moonlight gleam.

One pm such a silent night

All I can do is lay here and fight

Fight with the demon that keeps me from rest

A demon that keeps ignoring my soul protest:

"Let me sleep, oh let me sleep, 

I'm falling into a hole so deep, 

A hole that's almost impossible to escape,

A hole that constantly keeps me awake".

Two in the morning not a soul in sight

As I look through my window into the summer night

I open the window to breathe in the air

Instantly blinded by the moon and its glare.

It's three o'clock there's no chance at all

That into Morpheus arms I'll fall

He's left me here in agony and pain

And awake of course I still remain.

An hour gone by, now the clock strike four

I cannot take this anymore

Please tell me know, how long can I go on like this?

Only one little dream would be heavenly bliss.

Five am tears fill my eyes

To be like this I so despise

They sting so much they cannot rise

All I have left is to lay and cry

I want to cry I need to weep

Oh how I long to fall asleep

Six am no point in trying

No tears left from all the crying.

Alas another sleepless night

Fighting to sleep with all my might

No dreams, no rest, no morning rise

A tourture session in disguise
