Insomnia

Don't you hate it when you cant fall asleep?
You are entirely prepared, and yet
The main element seems to evade you.
Pjs? check. Covers? Check. Tummy full? Check.
Sleep....no response.
It's like whenever you are ready to lay your head and fall asleep,
Mr. Sleep don't want to be anywhere near you.
I think its highly annoying, and painfully irritating.
If you are fully ready and orchestrated for a good session of silent snoring,
You should be able to have it.
Then again, in life not everything goes as planned.
The moment you feel you could use some sleep,
Homegirl Insomnia steps in and lays in your bed
And mess up the whole mood.
It's a never ending game of hide-and-go seek
Where the more you chase that sleeping feeling,
The further away it goes.

So I guess, I'll stare at the ceiling,
Think of stars that I wish I could see,
Count backwards, reminisce over some good times,
Talk with God,
Until this uninvited guest named Insomnia
Goes away, allowing Mr. Sleep to come lay in my bed.
Right where it belongs.


Here's the song "Insomnia" by Craig David. He seems to be having some issues with homegirl Insomnia too :)
