All of these thoughts running through my head
I get no sleep,surprised I'm not dead
I guess the only way to unwind
Is to transfer the pages of writing in my mind
Onto the screen, put into words
And though the thought sounds absurd,
I search through the filing cabinets of my subconcious
For statements I can make without sounding obnoxious
However I realize that most people do not understand
For them sleep is a demand
For me, it is a command
But my thoughts will not silence
And they don't make any sense
Puzzling me with each unspoken thought
And my body will not rest, it's as though it's caught
In the activities I pursue
My eyes grow tired, but it seems I must do what I must do
I haphazardly walk to where I write
Senseless nonsense pours out all night
But I see it's not a complete waste
Some depth came from my haste
The sun shines in my eyes
I guess it's morning time to arise
But how do you awaken if you never slept?
I should know after all the times I have been kept
Awake
Knowing I should go to bed
For my own sake
But at the same time knowing my body will not comply
I guess my body will just lie
Here
I hope these walls surrounding my head
Will disappear
Into a dark blanket of nothingness
But unfortunately I am not granted this bliss
So I sort through my mind
Hoping to find
I new piece to myself
