I didn't sleep again last night
Been 29 hours now but I feel alright

It's so much easier for me to write
When lack of sleep is gripping me tight

My head likes the rhythm of the rhyme
Gotta keep the beat to get the line

The frustration that I feel
When the words in my head aren't ideal

Makes me tense and angry too
I want my words to speak my truth

I scream them from deep down inside
Pull them from my heart and soul with pride

To bring my thoughts on paper to you
They are dark weird and slightly askew.
