Insomnia

By drakemortuare13

Before the sun is up, I awake
Why can't i sleep for Heaven's sake?
Less and less, as I get older,
Insomnia is the demon on my shoulder

Thing I write, are things he says
I write until the start of the days
During sun-lit hours he is silent
But when night falls, he becomes violent

Arousing me from my sleep
I arise, and drowsily creep
Back to my desk to start again,
This old, cold, neverending chain

    You know... This is a constant struggle of mine, and now I'm finding myself losing days. The other day my phone rang from inside my freezer and the muffled sound was driving me insane. Insomnia can bite my ass! Great write! Bows-  Scholar

    Forgive my curiosity, but I must ask... Why in the name of Belial was your phone in the freezer?
