Insomnia
I stay awake
Like a never-ending nightmare
This insomnia I can’t escape
To feel the way I do everyday
Staring at the ceiling from the bed where I lay
To watch as my life passes me by
Everything feels better when you’re high
High on life and low on sleep
Each day blends into the next.
My heavy eyes never seem to close
And time feels like it has willingly froze
Because nothing matters anymore
My haunting demons stand at my door
Waiting…
For me to give up and cry and beg
And take me to another place.
But I choose to stay
To fight another day
And live in this sorrow
I hope I can sleep tomorrow
