Sleep Evades me…


Tired and blue...fed up and in pain,
For sleep Evades me…! Again! Again, and again!
I have tried and tried and tried in vain
But sleep won't come, its driving me insane...

What can I do - at after 5am...
But go back to bed, and try again...
For 4 long weeks now...I have been tired and blue
Trying to sleep...Oh what a to-do

My eyes grow weary...and my head is in pain,
But here I am...once more going insane...

Pain - bones all hurting, battered and blue,
Pain - tossing and turning, what can one do?
Pain – trying to sleep, to no avail,
Pain - feeling faint, and feeling pale…

For 4 weeks or more now, it's always the same…
It's driving me crazy, and driving me insane!

From 1am to 5am - each and every night,
There I am, wide awake…blimey, I look a sight!
My brain won't shut down it won't let me sleep,
I want to go to bed and fall into a slumber so deep!

What can I do, oh do I despair…
Doesn't my body even care?
Yes, it needs it's rest I know that well,
So why is it giving me such bloody hell?

My brain is a curse it's so maddening too…
What can I do…tell me, what can I do?
It's making me weary, tired and so blue…
And I have no idea on what to do…

Sleep, sleep, sleep…I am so in need of it now,
But sill it evades me…how do I sort it…how?

Tis now 6am and I am still wide awake…
Yet my body is weary, and my health's at stake!
Someone help me, help me please…
This tired body is bringing me to my knees!

I need support for this body of mine…
It's in so much pain that I'm not feeling fine!
Between pain and thoughts going round in my head…
I swear it - I'm going to end up dead!

I have asked of God to help me out once again,
To let me sleep, and ease this pain!
But He must be busy helping someone out,
For otherwise He would, I have no doubt!

I asked Him earlier on in the night,
‘Please dear God, please look to my plight!'
‘I just need assistance, this one last time,'
‘For I am truly – far from fine!'

But I heard not a word in my shell-like ear…
Maybe He's busy elsewhere and not that near…?
For if He could, I know He would help me out,
Of that I am certain, there is no doubt…

So now at almost 6.30am in time - as I speak…
I am off to bed once again…oh please let me sleep!
What can I do, when I'm feeling so tired and blue…?
For it's totally beyond me as to what I can do!

I need some pills, a potion or cure…
For I can't take this damned tiredness anymore…

But I shall persevere, and I'll try as hard as can be…
For I am totally and utterly…knackered you see!
So wish me luck, and hope and pray…
That sleep will no more evade me…today!
