I am awake & depressed once again,
Eyes won’t sleep, mind wont rest.
It seems I’ve been chosen as insomnias guest.

I have no choice I am its slave,
Inside my head it has found an un-restful grave,
Burrowing inside deeper & deeper,
Under its powers I become ever weaker.

Insomnia speaks & I answer,
To its music I am its dancer,
I am alone as I move across the floor,
I am only fit to be insomnias whore.

An invitation to me it’s addressed,
Over my soul has insomnia caressed,
Speaking silently only to me,
Making its promise it can render me free.

I listen & take it all in,
Inside my thoughts I feel insomnias last sin,
Probing & delving deeper it goes,
All through my veins the restlessness grows.

I pray for nothing but sleep,
Nothing but into my head demons creep,
It seems that I’m a bearer of such a gift,
A present insomnia won’t let me shift.

Insomnias Guest

Topic: insomniac

Time now is 6.24am,
I am awake & depressed once again,
Eyes won’t sleep, mind wont rest.
It seems I’ve been chosen as insomnias guest.

I have no choice I am its slave,
Inside my head it has found an un-restful grave,
Burrowing inside deeper & deeper,
Under its powers I become ever weaker.

Insomnia speaks & I answer,
To its music I am its dancer,
I am alone as I move across the floor,
I am only fit to be insomnias whore.

An invitation to me it’s addressed,
Over my soul has insomnia caressed,
Speaking silently only to me,
Making its promise it can render me free.

I listen & take it all in,
Inside my thoughts I feel insomnias last sin,
Probing & delving deeper it goes,
All through my veins the restlessness grows.

I pray for nothing but sleep,
Nothing but into my head demons creep,
It seems that I’m a bearer of such a gift,
A present insomnia won’t let me shift.

They say sleep deprivation helps put you into an altered state of mind. All it does to me is make me cranky. Don't you hate it when you can't sleep all night but as soon as the alarm goes off you fall asleep?

I feel the same way at times..... you are quite poet.... you captured the feeling of being an insomnaic so very well....

Insomnia speaks & I answer,
To its music I am its dancer,
I am alone as I move across the floor,
I am only fit to be insomnias whore.
