The light beams over my head,
my body feels like it is dead.
My eyes feel heavy from being awake,
I hope I could sleep for God's sake.
My fingers tap the controller as I turn,
it's all the same and T.V. gives me little to learn.
Telling me to buy or get healthy,
or giving me some way to make me wealthy.
There is nothing for me to do or say,
I just wish my mind could be swept away.
Awake I pace the floor,
while my body yearns for no more.
I take a sip of tea so that I may rest,
but being up is my biggest pest.
I lay in the tub to find comfort and sleep,
but all my body wishes to do is weep.
I see the sun scratch the ceiling above,
and it's sleep still I know nothing of.
I go and wash away the stain from my eyes,
knowing that this day will be my demise.
I will walk through it like the rest,
but without sleep I doubt I will pass the test.
Maybe I should just go all out,
end it all with a gun shout.
Then I will rest my weary head,
God can I only find sleep when I am dead.
