Sleep Don't Creep

     
I can't seem to go to    
sleep. Sleep!    
I just wanna tip toe and    
creep. Creep!    
But I tell myself no, just    
count sheep.    
You don't wanna go too    
deep. Sleep!    
     
As I hear the kitchen faucet    
drip. Drip!    
My mind begins to slowly    
drift, slip    
into what I want and    
miss. Wish!    
How on earth can I    
resist this?    
     
I can't get my mind to    
wind down.    
Can't even begin to    
find sound    
reasoning behind this    
new-found    
obsession that's got my    
mind bound.    
     
And when I can't seem to    
feed need,    
this hunger consumes with    
greed, freed    
from any kind of care,    
caution or heed    
to how my soft heart will be    
left bleeding.    
     
Everybody I know just    
sees me    
as if I'm a window so    
clearly    
with my heart shown on    
my sleeve,    
but still my mind's blown when    
they leave.    
     
Doesn't matter how hard I    
try, I    
can never really lie or    
hide my    
thoughts, emotions and pain    
inside, I    
just don't seem to know how or    
why. Why?    
     
Why do I always let them just  
use me,    
Discard, mistreat, beat and    
bruise me;    
why must I always choose to    
lose me,    
just because they briefly    
amuse me?    
     
I think it's finally about that    
time, I    
no longer pay mind to    
swine, I'm    
ready to start drawing my    
lines, I'm    
the only one who can    
define mine.    
     
And now again, it is time to    
sleep. Sleep.    
Tomorrow's promises I must   
keep; keep    
holding on to what free    
really means,    
and I'll be the one to finally  
seize dreams.
