An oldie, but a goodie...

I feel this is still an appropriate poem...

...sleep deprived nights...

I try to sleep but it’s no use
My eyelids don’t want to close
If they do, I lay there, still
Wishing I knew what it is to dream

My sleep deprived nights
Keep my body feeling numb
To the pain I feel inside
And the fear that I call night

Is wanting sleep too much to ask
Laying there staring at the dark
With thoughts running around my mind
Of nothing and everything at the same time

How did I get so cursed
To want the impossible so badly
To daydream of dreams
Wondering how wonderful they are

And with just one little pill
Everything could be alright
For just one night
If I got to rest my eyes
