Insomnia
Insomnia controls me
As I sit in the dark all alone
Unwanted thoughts fill my mind
Feeling like a sleepless drone

My mind won't shut down
The thoughts continue to race
Dreading the tiredness
That the morning will face

All the repressed memories
And the problems that I've pushed away
Come back to the mind
For hours they will stay

Flashes from the tv
Ringing in my ears
Waiting for the night to end
My sleepy eyes make tears

Everyone I know is sleeping
In a peaceful slumber
Inside of me is screaming
As I realize my hunger

Something will always keep me
From drifting to my happy place
Another sleepless night
Before a days problems to face
