Taking a deep breath, I close my eyes
Ugh, I'm tired of counting sheep
I need to sleep.
My fingers twitch, my body trembles
Waiting for my alarm to beep
I need to sleep.
Energy drained yet can't keep still
Almost making me want to weep
I need to sleep.
Tangled in the sheets from twisting and turning
Dreams only come when it's getting deep
I need to sleep.
Along with the sunrise
Comes finally finishing another night
I didn't get to sleep.
My battle scars being panda eyes
From my lips come tired lies
I didn't get to sleep.
My family is resigned
The doctors frown no longer tries to hide
I didn't get to sleep.
Oxygen to the brain, check
Any disorders apply, denied
I still don't sleep.
New pillows, new bed, new routine
Bamboo, a queen, plenty of time
I still don't sleep.
What do you do when you cross
Trauma with experience?
You get an insomniac, who will never sleep
