The Torture of No Sleep
Water Dripping all night
I can not sleep
The room's at 98 degrees
A mosquito's constantly sings in my ear
It torments my nervous system
It' drives me crazy touching the point of no return
The night seem so long so still
This mosquito's giving me the chills
I want to go to the slee, but I can't
Because the torture of the night represents the torment
Of my ailing soul
My body starts to itch
It feels like a million ants biting me
I scratch constantly, but find no relief
I'm being tormented for some reason
But I don't know why
So I cry out but no one hears me
I jump up with frustration and rush to the bathroom
I drench myself with rubbing alcohol
And that relieves me for awhile
Then I enter my small kitchen and get the bug spray
And kill that annoying mosquito
Then I lay down to rest
This time around the rooms feels much cooler
I find myself dozing off into a trance
I fall fast asleep...free of torture
