Insomnia
midnight minutes tick away.
lay awake, sleepless dismay.
a pillow, refuge for an empty head.
time, a book that cannot be read.
simple sheets, enclose around.
I hear a very distant sound..
WAKE UP!!!
there, alone a restless mind.
sleep, a haven I cannot find.
close your eyes, play a game.
I think my head has gone insane.
snakes and spiders, completely surround.
I invision leaving this town.
try again, close your eyes.
these beings won't let you leave alive.
GET UP, RUN! you love the chase!
QUICK! head for that warm embrace!
there's nothing you can do, they're gaining fast!
how long is this dream gonna last??
wake up dead, what a finish.
hope for sleep has been diminished.
