Insomnia

I'm tired again today
So little sleep
These dark dreams chasing
Into daylight they creep

Long hours in nightmares
Of the drowning variety
Or stalked through the forest
By some monstrous reality

Dreams that won't end
Into awareness they follow
Frustrated and beaten
In this pity that I wallow

Just let me sleep
Give my tortured mind rest
No more days to awaken
As insomnia's guest

My weary soul dies
A bit more each day
As I'm unable to keep
These horrid nightmares at bay

Oh how I wish
For what others have spoken
One peaceful night
A night of sleep left unbroken
