i don’t sleep much anymore
my thoughts keep me awake longer than they should

the days seem longer now
stretching into the night ahead of me

i am left wondering who is still up
am i the only one who can’t find rest

when's the point that i am so exhausted
that i can find relief

my mind seems to be in two places
transferring from one to the other to stay awake

where there once was peace and dreams
there is now unrest and daydreams

as the nights grow longer
i am here wondering if they will get shorter
to a place that is acceptable
so i can find relief from being awake
