• Every night I lie awake
    Sleep is something I only fake
    In my mind this fear is growing
    From my eyes these tears are flowing
    As I sit in a desolate room
    My family news only sounds like doom
    In the shadows I sit and wait
    Separated and away from others
    My feelings, the darkness smothers
    The day is bad
    Not much made me glad
    Insomnia always blocks my path
    Even as I sit and do math
    Stripped of my good dreams
    Five days awaken by my screams
    Two days of no sleep
    My insomnia seems to keep
