Insomniac For a Day

Silence screamed that dark night, As I lamented my foolish mistake, Palpitating from fright, I knew I’d still be up when dawn would break, Heart hyperventilating, my body started to ache, Mind bewildered - my thoughts went astray, I closed my eyes, my hands started to shake, I knew I would get no sleep today, I stared through the blackness, As the emptiness appeared, I looked away, shaking the stress, Sleep looked vaguely clear, Muteness was all I could hear, “Tick Tock” the clock started to hiss, My anxiousness was severe, I struggled to get out of that abyss, When would this sleeplessness disappear? My sheets were longing to be drenched with dreams, I tried to remember when, Sleep was as effortless as it seemed, When adequate rest in my eyes would gleam, That dreadful night passed, and ever since then, I swore I would NEVER drink Red Bull again! Redbull: Some kind of energy drink.
