Insomnia

I lay awake, I just can't sleep
Rest is the one thing I need right now
Yet, away, the nightmares, I just can't keep
I try to force myself but I don't know how

I am so tired, yet I still lay awake
Memories of nightmares are the only things on my mind
The gods are being cruel. I need rest for my health's sake
It hurts so much, they are not being kind

My eye lids are heavy, my body weak
The clock strikes 6 as the sun begins to rise
I I toss and turn in bed as I silently shriek
Another restless day, to my demise
