INSOMNIA

Can't sleep...

Eyes wide open...

Restless in the night ,

My mind is on overload...

If I could just close my eyes everything would be better....

Distracted in the night...

As the covers move...

I see a new you...

Same shit , I can't get use to...

Counting sheep...

I could but then how will I sleep ?

Dark room filled with my thoughts...

Just one night of peaceful sleep wonder how much that would cost?

Exhausted beyond words...

My eyes won't sleep...

Body begging for rest...

But my eyes won't sleep !

During the day I hide from the sun...

Under the covers

Do not disturb...

I close my eyes...

But they won't sleep !

This can't be life...

Concealer hides my secret...

A smile masks the tiredness...

A yawn here and there...

Your not boring me , I swear !

Eyes wide open ...

Restless...

Man I just want to sleep...

Eyes roam the ceiling ...

While my foot shakes...

You go to sleep...

You wake up to a new you !

But who am I ?

Same ol me !

Cuz I can't sleep !
