Insomnia

Each day I lay awake wanting my eyes to close.

Time passes and I lay there not dreaming.

When I force my eyes close, they open back up.

I look like a porcelain doll that never sleeps.

Sometimes I look like a ghost, wanting to be dead.

They say pills help but they don't.

Is the only way out of this death, I think in bed.

No, because your friend has a long road ahead.
