As the poem will give off, I haven't slept for the past two nights. I've had about two hours sleep since monday afternoon, so please forgive me if the rhythm of the poem is not perfect.
Enjoy?

Another night without a single blink
of sleep, I fear the darkness is coming in
I lie awake, my eyes wide open
This is more than I can cope with.
I haven't slept since monday afternoon
even then, it was the drugs that sent me through
A cheeky spliff to calm my wracking nerves
This has to be more than what I deserve.
The doctors say I'm deteriorating
but they don't know what I'm contemplating;
Because another night like this, I swear
I'll end it all, 'cause I just can't bare.
But everything will look up soon,
It has to,
It needs to,
Because I can't stay down here forever
Sleepless nights, depression, whatever
Psychosis, maybe, that's what they say
But it was bipolar disorder just the other day,
What the fuck is wrong with me? What more can I say?
Another night without a single blink,
I can feel the darkness creeping in,
For these endless nights, in my bed I lay
Death is not an option, there is another way...
