Insomniacs Journal

I should be asleep
But here I stay
I refuse to weep
So I stay awake

Moonlight is falling on my skin
My secret that I hold
It is not a sin
But deadly just the same

Only I am to blame
When the despair and the shame
Send me away
Back the way I came

To a dream
But I just can't figure out
What they mean
Shouldn't I just leave?

So here I am still awake
The night whispers
"Leave the way you came
You are no longer sane"

Some do not understand
I've tried to explain
I'm drowning in the sand
But only I am to blame

Moonlight is falling on my skin
My secret that I hold
It is not a sin
But it's ripping at my edges
And tearing at my seams
I keep on shouting
But no one ever hears the screams
