I N S O M N I A
Lying in bed fully awake

Trying to fall to sleep

The only noise is my fan

Not another soul should peep


I toss and turn with anxiety

Thinking about the days events

Im way stressed out and grumpy

My shoulders are way too tense


Almost falling then waking up

In a sudden panic stricken way

Falling back to sleep is an exercise in futility

And theres only a few hours left till the next day


Tick tock goes the clock

Shadows all over my walls

Hearing noises that scare me some

creaking and clanking in the halls


I get up to see whats going on

whats making so much noise there

Fumbling for the lights

with a head full of messy hair


Nothing here nothing there

My imagination working overtime

So back to bed I go to lay

Its already 5:30 am an I gotta get up at nine


My mom always told me that you should try

not to fall asleep so fast

instead try staying awake

Shed bet me money that I wouldnt last


So i try this little experiment

to see if it will work so well

Staying awake with all my might

slowly to sleep I finally fell.
