Insomniac

Hello Sunset, I've seen you much,

these sleeping pills lost their touch.

 

I itch for sleep; I yearn to dream,

but every option lost it's gleam.

 

The stars my friends, eye drops my drug.

Count spots on the ceiling, lay on my rug.

 

It seems this day has lasted a week.

My body's worn, my eye lids tweak.

 

Shallow thoughts, dark circles deep.

I can try some more, but I can not sleep.

 

Messy hair, look in the mirror.

My vision's blurry but this dilemma is clearer.

 

Time unlimited, sleep I lack.

Hello there, Insomniac.
