Insomniac!

Its 3 O'clock in the night-
Or morning should I say,
Oh gosh why my eyes & sleep fight?
Can't it just come and stay.
                                         I fear the darkness and its hollowness,
                                         Once I was a sleeping angel;
                                         Now getting driven into the shallowness-
                                         I think about the imminent danger,
Failing to understand,
What is it that bothers me?
I can't stand nor can I flee;
My pain I can no longer withstand,
                                                   Day by day I turn into a wreck,
                                                   Want to scream and yell my plight;
                                                   Alas but I find no one in sight,
                                                   My voice reverts and finally breaks.
Nobody has a clue;
Of what i go through-
Or maybe nobody knew;
And none is there to rescue! 
                                          Slowly i have learned to live with this;
                                           Falling daily into the deep abyss;
                                           I know something is deeply wrong;
                                           But don't know how far it will go and how long!
