It's dark
It's night
I should be asleep
Nowhere in the house do you hear a peep

I can't stop my head
My brain won't turn off
As I sit here alone
In my dingy loft

Go back to sleep
How I wish I could
No one has ever understood
Why I'm up in the middle of the night
I try to sleep with all my might

So here I sit and write this poem
I no longer have to feel alone
