Sleep

by sarah k   Jun 28, 2004


I lie awake at 2 in the morning
Another night without sleep.
This is getting too much
I cant think straight
Or talk right
I act as if I were a zombie.
Its impossible for me to sleep.

I look for the pills
The ones that will help me doze off
But i cant find them
You have them hidden.
I need them
I miss my dreams
My happy places
I want them back
They were the only things protecting me from this nightmare known as reality.
I just wish I could have but one hour of sleep.
I would sell my soul to the Devil himself
Just for that one peaceful hour.

*i wrote this in the middle of the night because i couldnt sleep. its not the greatest but its just what flowed out of my head.*

    I can totally relate to your poem. I know what it feels like to go to bed and you just can't sleep and you don't know what to do. Your poem may have been short and you may say it wasn't the greatest but I know it came streight from the heart and i know it has a lot of meaning to you. Keep writing because i know it helps alot. If you have msn feel free to add me. I'd love to talk to you....my e-mail is leah_ataide_128@hotmail.com.... take care of yourself and keep smiling!!Much Love.
