insomnia or demons
Even when my eyes sting too much to even peek,
I somehow still cannot seem to fall asleep
What is this evil force that keeps me wide awake?
This monster, no matter how i hard I try is impossible to shake
It is fear i believe, fear in all its different forms
The fear of failure, disappointing and the fear of the unknown
I so desperately wish i was once again a carefree kid,
With fewer burdens to bear i could easily sleep like i once did.
Is it that insomnia thing everyone keeps talking about or the demons of my past
That prevent me from getting the rest I think i’ve gotten “at last”
It is sleep I find myself craving all day
but when I finally can, lying in bed, i am wide awake
Do the troubles of my past, present and future keep me at unrest?
Or do I have too big of a burden aching against my chest?
My answer, is empty, i have no clue
All I know is that I cannot sleep when it's all I want to do
Oh how I wish to go back to the days where ignorance was bliss
It is more than anything, that time I miss.
