Sleepless nights just tossing and turning

I need some rest my eyes are burning

Flopping from back to front, side to side

I’m more restless than the oceans tide

It feels as though only a few minutes have past

But the hours seem to be moving awfully fast

If I can get just a few hours sleep I might feel rested

The clock seems to be ticking to fast, it needs to be tested

Staring into blackness I’ve resorted to counting sheep

I think I’ve counted over a thousand and still no sleep

There needs to be a better solution I have to find

Morning is approaching faster, I’m losing my mind

It should be so simple; just close my eyes and dream

But all I do is think and stare at the moons beam

It’s like I’m on a drug that’s keeping me awake

Nervousness and twitching, I’m starting to shake

They say Just take a sleeping pill; it seems so easy

But I awake in a fog and my stomach is queasy

I don’t believe its insomnia it’s just in my head

I’ve laid here for hours just talking to my bed

My eyes are getting heavy, could this be it?

Breathing has slowed and so has my heart a bit

I’m finally starting to fall asleep just before dawn

I’m drifting away now as I let out one last yawn
