Insomniac Blues

sleepiness, but i cant sleep
uneasiness under the sheets
i toss and turn across my bed
discomfort racing through my head

piercing thoughts keep me awake
sleep does not give me escape
beating heart and pounding mind
i lack the comfort to unwind

aching muscles full of stress
haunting in my loneliness
i cant relax, i cannot dream
nothing to release the steam

imprisoned slumber, tortured soul
insomnia can take its toll
up all night without my rest
i am the mornings weary guest

exaustion is my long lost friend
at last i am asleep again
