Sleepless Night

Im up late I can not sleep again Voices in my head, are holding too much pain My body aches, I am going insane I want to throw a fit, but will that even gain The suns up and I'm no closer than I was before Off to work, falling through the office door Lunch time comes, an hour long gap I think its time for me to take a nap Before I know, into sleep I tumble But all too soon my stomach starts to rumble I sit up and wipe my tired face looks of pity, looks of disgrace The hours after, takes an eternity to past Before I can leave for home at last Five a clock chimes and I'm half way out the door My bed, at home, a tempting lure I look terrible, I guess I'm a little vain the lack of sleep getting to my brain The voices in my head I need to reign to prevent a sleepless night again
