can hardly keep my eyes closed
my courage? disposed.
went upstairs to fall asleep
ended up watching TV
can't sleep in day or night
but I want to get it right
can I have a nice dream
without a nightmare or scream?
read a book till two am,
trying to get some REM
hear the voices instead
lying under my bed
see the demon in the corner
and ignoring the horror
don't think I'll ever rest
although I try my best
but I won't ever deny
that sometimes I cry
maniac insomniac.
