What can I say, where do I start?
From the beginning I reckon, right from my heart!
This pain of mine, oh what it does to me!
I am kept away, I can't sleep you see!
I toss and turn each night in my bed,
And sometimes cry till my eyes are red!
The pain is so bad it keeps me awake,
I get so upset, I cry so my body will shake!
But what can I do, what do I try,
To help me to sleep, so I no longer cry?
Sleep it evades me all night through,
Until I get so upset and don't know what to do!
I look at the sky until daylight peeps through,
Cos to be quite honest, there's nothing else to do!
So I look around the darkened room,
And hope sleep calls me really soon.
But I know it won't, I'm used to lack of sleep,
Like I say, I'm awake until daylight will creep…
Creep into my window, lovely and bright,
But I can't enjoy it, after being awake all night!
So I strive and strive and strive in vain,
But sleep eludes me once again!
All this torment and lack of slumber,
Can it be sorted? Often I wonder!
So here I am once more, after 3am,
Tired of tossing and tuning again!
In so much pain and in so much sorrow,
And praying again, to sleep till tomorrow!
I have no illusions and I know in my mind,
That I will be awake through a pain so unkind!
But hey, I'm as tough as tough can be…
So I will prevail, its determined I'll be!
So no matter what, no matter when,
One day soon, I will sleep again!
This will come to pass, and when that night arrives,
I'll slumber like others, no more tears in my eyes!
Sleep is needed to start a brand new day,
Then we can face the trials come what may.
But if I can't sleep, then I won't get through…
Yet another difficult day!
So roll on the slumber that I need and the rest,
I'm just so tired, but it's just another test!
I have surpassed all other tests that have come my way,
This is another trial I will beat one day…
