Image for the poem Insomniac

Insomniac

Explosions in your ears
Light that weighs your eyes
Heavy and on fire
You can't even cry

Forever twist and turning
On pillows worn and dry
Bleeding through your thoughts
Of a sleepy kind of night

Shaking like your hungry
Walking like the dead
Trying to find a way
To beat this living dread

Pills that make you numb
Never work your sleep
They only keep you thinking
Of something sad and deep

So restless and exhausted
Taking off the cap
Fill your mouth with drugs
Sweet dreams insomniac
