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.
