Ptsd Insomnia
It's 10 pm I go to bed
Try to rest my weary head
It's 11 pm I just can't sleep
Things I'm seeing make me weep
It's 12 am I've drifted off
Woken again as I start to cough
Its 1 am I'm awake again
I don't need to see this pain
It's 2am I'm restless still
I get up take a pill
It's 3am I nod of once more
Bet I'm awake again at 4
It's 4 am I've had my snooze
I wonder if it's lack of booze
Its 5am I'm asleep at last
This sleeping game goes to fast
Its 6am I'm still sleeping tight
Then my memories start to fight
Its 7am I'm now wide awake
The alarm went off my mistake
It's 8am off to work I go
Hope it's quick not to slow
Its 10 am and I'm working hard
Even posted a birthday card
Its 12 pm and lunch break starts
I'm really tired falling apart
Its 1 pm didn't manage a nap
Think I need a night cap
Its 3 pm seven hours to push
Maybe I could lay under a bush
Its 5pm on my way home
I ring my family on the phone
Its 6pm it's family time
Before bed listen to rhyme
Its 7pm I'm totally shattered
Have tea then adults chattered
Its 8pm nearly time for bed
When I can rest my weary head
It's 9pm not long to wait
For my mind to take the bait
It's 10pm I take myself up
Feel like I'm in a thermas cup
Back in bed it starts over again
When will I sleep and see no pain
