Sleeplessness keeps me up all night
It makes me see things all a fright
Insomnia is when I think my best
My mind runs crazy, all at rest
My mental illness has no cure
My subconscious, all is to lure
Brings me to a deep, dark place
I’m all alone, I have no space
I want out, I want to dream
I want to sleep, I may just scream
I don’t exactly, like to see
Two a.m. and a quarter ‘til three
Five f*cking hours, is NOT enough
My mind ends up all foggy and rough
Last time I checked, thinking was cool
It was needed, especially in school
I’d like to pass. Summer school’s no fun
During the summer, I should be sleeping in the sun
Sleep? What is this?  I do not recall…?
Oh yes, that is it…it’s been so **** long
