Insomnia

I try to go to sleep,

But my mind just won’t shut off.

I close my eyes,

And I lay so still, but still my mind goes,

It keeps going,

One hundred miles an hour.

I try everything,

I count the sheep,

I count down from one hundred,

But I’m still wide awake.

It’s pitch black,

And everyone's sleep,

But I am here,

My mind thinking.

I wish my mind had an off switch.

Then maybe,

For once,

I could sleep.

It’s one in the morning,

I’m so bored,

And so, so tired.

But my mind just won’t shut off.

It feels like hours have gone by,

But when I look at the clock,

It’s only been ten minutes.

Oh brain,

Oh mind,

Just shut up for once!

Let me sleep for once!

I stare off,

I close my eyes.

My minds still awake,

But my bodys asleep.

Finally it’s morning,

I can finally get up.

But oh, i am so, so exhausted.

I can barely get outta bed.

My insomnia just refuses,

To ever let me sleep.

I can never get,

Even a wink of sleep.

Curse you insomnia!!

Please just let me sleep for once.
