Insomnia

Here I am at 3am scrolling  through my phone up and down
Adjusting it's brightness as it slowly hurts my eyes
Here I am at 3am and in my thoughts I drown 
Slowly waiting for the sun to rise

I am hoping for these white noise to silence my brain 
The waves, the thunder, the lightning and  rain
They've been my lullaby since 9pm
But still I'm wide awake since then 

I should not have let this visitor in when it knocks
I should have ignored it and put it in a box
But instead, I took it in and spend much time
Thinking, wishing, contemplating til it's past my bedtime. 

Now the sun is up and it's time for me to rise
I got nothing but worries and bags under my eyes. 
This is driving me to the brink of paranoia
This unwelcomed visitor named insomnia
