Sleep...Never Heard of It?

by Bradley Peter   Feb 22, 2012


Sleep? Nah, that's not for me,
I'd much rather just lie there, restlessly,

Sleep for me is like tossing and turning,
Laying in bed and it's sleep I'm yearning,

See, my head's too wired, too awake,
'SLEEP! SLEEP! FOR GOODNESS SAKE!',

But does it listen? Nope, no bloody way,
Just replays, and replays throughts from the day,

Some relaxing oils, or some music to soothe,
Nope, I just end up bobbing to the grove,

Maybe if I masturbate, that's quite relaxing,
And if it's goes for a while, it'll be quite taxing,

Deep breathing perhaps, pop a pill or two,
Yep, that's it! That's certain to do...

Nope, still here, just me and the ceiling,
And in creeps in that irritable feeling,

Toss and turn a bit, toss and turn some more,
Oh, how this routine is such a bore,

And hour goes by, two hours, three,
Does this happen to anyone but me?

    Haha, had to laugh at some parts of this. Rest assured, such restlessness is shared by many, including myself. We think too much I guess. Good rhyming and flowed really well.

    I can relate to this. I have insomnia and it's a b**ch isn't it?

    Anyway great rhyming and flow and it had a somewhat humorous tinge to it.
    I think in line 8 there's a typo on throughts Andi t should be thoughts.

      I'm a master of the typo. Even manage to squeeze two in this one; line 10. It's supposed to say 'groove' instead of 'grove'.

      Thank you for your comment. I think the pressure of trying to sleep to no avail does turn one's mind a little cuckoo.
