I've forgotten what it's like to fall asleep
no more is it gentle waves along a shore
or as common as the sky is blue
No, It's more like trying to catch a fish with your hands
always slipping away
and never quite within reach
A hurricane of tossing and turning has replaced
the lull of quiet breathing
So desperately trying to fall into the world of slumber
but never getting there on time
Nights turn into days
as eyes refuse to stay shut
the brain refuses to shut down
continually buzzing
about this and that
How i yearn for
a night of soothing silence
quickly driftin into dreams
and then slowly,
gradually, waking
to a day anew
