Insomnia

Toss and turn
No peace inside
No place where my wild mind can hide
I sit
I stare
I am not there
And yet I can’t get anywhere

Up
Down
Try to rest
But deep inside I’m too depressed

The music plays
The focus slips
With sleep I cannot get to grips

The madness waits
For one small crack
To push its way
To crawl right back

To eyes wide
Inside my head
I cannot sleep
I die instead
