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! Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem |
