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

This is so true and sadly it gets worse and you end up cat napping all day. Regards Tom
