A Sleepless Night

At times 
The nights
Are painfully long 
And seem to pass by 
So very slowly 

It makes 
Me feel like I have no hope left
It gives me feelings of despair 
Like a tarantula of rain pouring down 
It makes me 
Want to cry 
Like snow drifting from the sky 

I drift 
In and out of sleep 
And wonder 
Is this how I will spend the rest of my life sleeping?
