At night
When the demons crawl
And the murderers run about
I am up
The same hour
The same time
I can't sleep
'Insomnia exists!'
"I don't think you suffer from insomnia" he tells me
Then what is it?
Why?
It hurts me
I am afraid
For I can't sleep
I look around the dark room
I sleep on the floor
The room is large, dense, dark
The air is thick, I cannot sleep
My head throbs with pain
I can't sleep
My head bobs
Up, down, up, down
"Wake up!"
"Why are you so tired?
"What is wrong with you?"
I can't sleep
