I wish I could sleep. Days on end an endless cycle no waking at all. Maybe when I'd wake up the world would change to something better I'd be better. I wish Rip Van Winkle would give me advice I can't seem to sleep even if I try. It makes me feel worse the fact when I am awake the people I love are just asleep. They are not conscious While I am stuck alert Not knowing why I can't just sleep. Sleeping for a long while would be a gift to me Not waking every few hours like a newborn child. If I did sleep for a time I wonder what I'd miss I fear I'd miss so much Wake up and everything gone I know it's strange Unusually sad I wish to sleep But fear time passing I hate waking in the middle of the night I hate sleeping when I'd miss everything The conundrum of it all Fearing sleep yet need it I must sleep. Wish me luck.

To sleep or not to sleep
I wish I could sleep. Days on end an endless cycle no waking at all. Maybe when I'd wake up the world would change to something better I'd be better. I wish Rip Van Winkle would give me advice I can't seem to sleep even if I try. It makes me feel worse the fact when I am awake the people I love are just asleep. They are not conscious While I am stuck alert Not knowing why I can't just sleep. Sleeping for a long while would be a gift to me Not waking every few hours like a newborn child. If I did sleep for a time I wonder what I'd miss I fear I'd miss so much Wake up and everything gone I know it's strange Unusually sad I wish to sleep But fear time passing I hate waking in the middle of the night I hate sleeping when I'd miss everything The conundrum of it all Fearing sleep yet need it I must sleep. Wish me luck.
