sleep

As I lay my head down
No one is keeping
Me from sleeping
Apart from my own head

My eyes just want to close
But it hurts above my nose
They say that its the headaches
That keep me awake,
but it's the heartache

My body wants to relax
But my mind has other plans
It feels like nobody ever can
Wake me up apart from the insomnia

The mirror kind of scares me
But the monsters never strike me with fear
Why ordinary objects give me goosebumps,
While I'm best friends with my demons

I once tried hypnosis to make me sleep
But instead I only fell asleep
When my heavy metal played
Or was it the screamo?

I want to go to sleep
My brain has other plans
It's keeping me wake
But it's telling me goodnight
