Thoughts of an Insomniac

Contributed by fastpitchqt on Monday, 15th November 2004 @ 06:57:52 PM in AEST
Topic: insomniac

At night I stay up late
Tossing and turning throughout the night in my bed
Sleepless nights go about day after day
My eyes heavy with exhaustion ready for a break

But when I lay my head down on my pillow, my mind begins to race
Hundreds of thousands of things run about my mind
Preventing my tired eyes from sleep

I think about school and work
I think about love
About life
About the past, present and future

I think about all those “what ifs” that I will never know about
I think about all the mistakes I’ve made
I think about all my dreams and wishes that have never came true
I think about all the regrets I have of things I did or didn’t do

So many things cross my mind the moment these green eyes of mine close
Why can’t I get peaceful rest?
Why do I have this restless, uneasy slumber night after night?
Why cant my mind just take a break so my eyes and heart can rest?
Why do I lie awake half the night thinking of ways to sleep?

An uneasy rest for my unsettled mind
Why cant my mind just give me a break from my problems for several hours a night?
Why does my curiosity and anguish plague me after those lights go out?
I guess I will never know till they are solved
Till I can sleep soundly throughout the night like I used to

But for now I stay up late with my thoughts
With these heavy eyes of mine longing for sleep
With these thoughts of an insomniac
