Oh I’ve once again fallen
Into the rut of sleepless nights
Fallen out of favour with Morpheus
Courting Insomnia, and counting the lights
It doesn’t help that I feel distraught
Or tired or sleepy or desperately weepy
It feels like the end of three battles fought
With demons in my own head, creepy
And I cant explain why, and how,
I can’t explain what is the reason
I’m in this state tonight, and now
My brain is alight, acting in high treason
I’ve tried all the ways, tried all the things
To make myself sleep, but my mind takes wings
If you, O reader, have anything to say
Please do, a lullaby, to rest my eyes today
For tomorrow is another battle,And people will be slaughtered
Sacrificed, arrogantly, in lieu of my peace
Lead me to sleep, oh please, oh please
Or my world will again be shattered
Like it has, every day, when I could get no sleep
And I moped around, o’er a precipice so deep
A slip, a tiny slip, and madness takes over
And the devil comes out, a hostile takeover
I wish, I wish, and I so strongly believe
I’d be a better person,If my eyes I’d relieve,
And there’s no mountain tall, no crevice deep
That I couldn’t surmount, with a little sleep
