Tick -Tock - Tick - Won't that clock shut up? 

Silence. That's better.. Now, I can fall asleep,

Seconds pass.. Minutes pass.. Hours pass..

I've forgotten that sleep and I don't get along, 

I lie awake thinking about its dreams,

Dreams that I was once promised, 

It's not the same, never the same as before,

I miss being able to instantly sleep, 

Or sleep at all..

The world by day kept me awake,

For I fall into naps during light hours, but it's not the same,

deep sleep is what I long for,

Delicious sleep in the land of milk and honey,

Held in warmth escaping from reality,

It's this brain of mine, that I can't shut off, 

It racks and storms away with thoughts,

Think - Think - Think - Why, I can't stop thinking?

Silence. So it seems.. Now, I can't seem fall to sleep.
