Insomnia

I can't sleep! It's been happening to me for weeks

I can't seem to keep these corneas free from opening

It's 4:15! And I've been awake since three

And two o'clock and a quarter til and 1:30 and 1:15

I can't sleep! Don't know how many more hours I can lay awake

I'm lucky to get two at night and another one during the day

I'm seeing things! Hallucinations are more frequent

Intensity level of these visuals increases by the minute

I'm hearing things! An escalation of sleep depravation

Melatonin ain't workin and I despise prescription medication

Crazy dreams! My mind's playin tricks on me

The harder I try to close my eyes the more things I see

Ain't something occasionally it's been steadily increasing for four weeks

I'm praying every night "God please grant me serenity"

My body needs! Something more than intermittence please

Focus is less than bleak tongue tied when I try to speak

Additionally I'm short fused mentally I can't think

Concentration's history and these words are far from empty

Additionally I'm short fused and things are beginning to repeat

Concentration's history and these words are far from empty

I can't sleep! Groundhog Day but worse

Enflamed temper with each woodchuck sighting from the earth

Something's gotta give! My mind is overworked

I just wanna exist again and live again this challenge painfully hurts

I see no reward in constant consciousness my thoughts need r.e.m

Next time I close my eyes surprise me by showing me nothin

Let me break away from awakened space for longer than thirty minutes

I'd rather not awake another day with this frustration I'm exhausted

I can't sleep!!!
