I stared at the walls
as they closed on me
Tried closing my eyes
Yet sleep farther away.
trying to reason
why it happens to me.
I feel tired at the end of the day
long to curl up and go to sleep
yet, I am denied
the luxury of blissful sleep.
The darkness I abhor
Uh! life is no sheet music
it changes its tune often
difficult to choose between breath or death
it's a war for me, like every other person
But then my hands are tied and I don't know how to fight.
Difficult to resist as Sweet Sleep magically waves her gentle wand over you...

Heavy with sleep your lids shuts her windows down,
