Insomnia
Here I am again
Hours past midnight
Listening to the thoughts in my head
Will I sleep tonight?
The tick of the clock
gets louder and stronger
Conversations with myself
I can't take them much longer
I wish I could shut my brain off
And my heart would stop pounding in my chest
I want my nerves to stop jumping
So my body can rest.
I'm so tired, but still awake
Someone calm me down,
knock me out
So I can sleep, for sake!
