Eyes wide open in the dark,
Exhausted yet sleep won't come,
Thoughts are running through my mind,
An unconscious state I want to find.
I listen to my fan's steady drone,
I toss and turn all night long,
I stare at the ceiling,
I dread dawn.
Eyes burn with lack of sleep,
I'm restless and frustrated, feeling annoyed,
I wanted to dream while laying on my sheets,
Being awake is what I wanted to avoid.
I'm an insomniac, plain and simple,
Dark circles sag under my eyes,
I drag myself through every day,
And if I can't sleep it's no surprise.
