Insomnia
My mind is filled with thoughts I don't need
My eyes fill with tears while my heart bleeds
As a teenager they wanted me to be sectioned and monitored
With all of this on my mind, is it any wonder I have Insomnia?
Tired all day, But as soon as my head hits the pillow I Lie awake
Anxiety builds my thoughts up, So I fantasize about being able to hibernate
A new fear for me to overcome, another obstacle for me to annihilate
But I need a rest, I wish I could fly away
I'm trying to remain calm in the drama
But I walk in the way of harm with no armour
I've got new scars on top of old ones that never finished bleeding
I hear voices, even though I'm in a room on my own, with no one speaking
I miss my ex, so my head forces me to think about who she's laying with
Is he making her happy? Or is she faking it?
I pushed her away, but she got over me quicker
Isn't it funny how when you taste your own medicine, you get sicker?
Depression has a hold of me and tells me I'm worthless
I've attempted suicide in the past, do I deserve this?
Am I a coward because I crumbled and fell a few times?
Do I need to repair my heart or do I need a new mind?
I need a hug, but there's no one I can tell
Lying in bed wide awake, I feel the need to yell
Been tired all day, and I'm in bed now
But thanks to Insomnia, the last thing I'll be doing is getting my head down
My mind is filled with thoughts I don't need
My eyes fill with tears while my heart bleeds
As a teenager they wanted me to be sectioned and monitored
With all of this on my mind, is it any wonder I have Insomnia?
