Sleepless

Why is it easy for others to sleep At a single moment's notice But my eyes remain wide and fixed As if I'm under hypnosis Why is it I can never doze While others so readily collapse Even though completely shot My mind refuses to relax Wouldn't my drained muscles That desperately seek healing Be better off rejuvenating Instead of me staring at the ceiling Why can't I drift away And assume my place in a daze Drifting and floating endlessly In beautiful lethargic malaise What's the trick to make me fall Into an utterly tranquil abyss So I can preserve my own sanity With therapeutic bliss (c) Theneverendingstory.net
