Sleep

I wrote this last night when I couldn't sleep. Not my best work, but oh well.

Trapped here in a daze
Thinking of the ways
To end this madness
My mind will not cease
All I want is peace
From this tortured state

I lie here awake
Just wanting to take
All the noise away
Where is Mr. Sandman?
I’m hoping I can
Find a way to rest

Just give me a drug
To feel warm and snug
Inside this dark room
Please silence my mind
I’m so short on time
I don’t want to think

Let me slip away
‘Til night turns to day
Then let me awaken
Then I can face life
And take on the strife
That never seems to end
