Insomnia your soft still whisper beckoning me at night, Like a shadow that casts across my room. 

I presume you want to talk? 
Here I lay awake listening to your voice whir in my mind, constant. Never ending. 

You consume my every thought, I try and blot and close my eyes, but alas there you are burning bright. 
Despite my wish for sleep, you never let me sleep. You never let me dream. . Here I lay awake, with thoughts burning in my brain. 

You are the bane of my existence, You are inhumane. 
YOU DRIVE ME INSANE! 
BE QUIET! BE QUIET I SAY.. 

Still your soft whisper!! 

I can't maintain the thoughts, your shadows cast across my mind and my eyelids can never fall. 
I bawl in the dead of night, wishing sleep would come upon me. 

But like a flea, here you are.. Buzzing buzzing.. buzzing in my ear. 
Can't you just disappear and allow me to rest? 

Why am I so stressed? We have addressed my anxiety a thousand times over.. 
Your friends always bother me..Buzzing buzzing..buzzing in my ear. 

Isn't it obvious you give me Nausea? Insomnia? 
You give me trichotillomania...
Isn't it obvious? Shut up, Shut up! 


I do not want to know about the seven most wanted facts of cheating, In the dead of night! 
SHUT UP! SHUT UP! 

Let my eyes become heavy and let me fall into a dream.. Where you no longer exist. 
You are dismissed!  Please! We can never co-exist. You and I? The love we share, is non-existent. 

You almost make me become a recidivist! 
My life on constant repeat as my brain hums at the speed of light. 
I can't fight, Politely I ask you to quiet..
Twilight comes upon me as the bags under my eyes.. 

Drench into my skin. 

They sag and they pull into my cheeks. 
Sleep my dear friend, where do you reside? 

I wish you were here at my bedside, comforting me into a gentle rest. 
But my thoughts are amplified, I can't close my restless eyes. 

My heart cries for sleep. 
Please Empathize with me Insomnia.

Why do you paralyze me in the dead of night, forcing me to relive my fears! 
Forcing your friends into my mind.. Anxiety, Depression.. I do not like these friends of yours. 

I wish to ignore all the wars within my mind. 
I just want to unwind. 
Like a clock to tightly strung, let me go.. Let me go,.. Let me go!!
