Don'T Wanna Be

Don't wanna be a dreamer's dream When I'm wide awake with nothing to do It's oh-god-thirty AM and the lights are bright It's Friday night and I'm ready to fight I'm not a maniac I'm an insomniac Paranoia fills my every thought when I try to sleep So I'm laying with eyes wide open Hoping the scotch tape will hold Don't wanna be lost in the hysteria Of a psychotic dream Haunted by my own imagination Change the station, change the station I'm not crazy I'm just lazy And when the sun finally rises I'll be laying with eyes closed shut Hoping I'll wake up sometime soon

"It's God-thirty a.m." right now, but here I am, reading poems. This one hit me as really great, as I am living it right NOW.
