Insomnia

sleep is hard to come by
i lay in my bed and wonder why
my dreams don't come as easily
knock me out i plea
minutes turn to hours
thoughts fly like meteor showers
bang my head against a wall
and hope to sleep is where i fall
the sun begins to shine
I'm running out of time 
another sleepless night has passed
how much longer can my mind last
