SLEEPLESS

While all the normal souls are sleeping

I am wide awake, alone

My mind is screaming when it should be dreaming

I am lost in this cyclone

My body fights against exhaustion

Stubbornly denying peace

Should I seek a deal with Faustian

& let my soul decay, decrease?

I am already fading

I am a walking shell

I am so tired of this crusading

I am over living in this hell

If i could, id sleep forever

& dream my way to perfect bliss

What a marvellous endeavour

To be free at last from this abyss

But while all the normal souls are sleeping

I am wide awake, alone

My body screaming when it should be dreaming

& I am lost in this cyclone
