I cannot sleep for my head is spinning,
as I understand why it all begins.

I cannot breathe for my face is covered comfortably,
as I try and block all the sounds coming from all around.

I cannot think for someone is on my mind,
as I lay here needing that warmth and care.

I cannot function for these voices are getting stronger,
as I listen to classical and myself.

I cannot wait for all this to find some closure,
as I wish each waking day to give me strength.

I cannot fall asleep for now I'm far much awake,
as I watch my life pass me by and all my mistakes.
