Sleep Insomnia
Sleep insomnia keeps you up each night
Seems the Sandman ignores your existence upon his flight
No fun to be had as your energy is depleted each day
Lifeless, still mundane tedious tasks and responsibilities must go under way
Sneezing wondering if you're allergic at first glance of the sun
Wearing dark shades you don't care for the brightness of the sunshine none
For what you really crave is sleep
Crazy tiresome odd hours awake you do keep
Moods are up and down without stability
Creates frustrating irritability
Overtired because you can't take a nap
From small children you wish a small amount of their energy you could zap
Coffee doesn't help do the trick no matter how strong
Oh sweet sleep where have you been?it's been far too long
A vampire is a questionable possibility maybe
In time it catches up and you crash harder than a baby
Melancholy feeling of defeat
Exhausting cycle continues to repeat
