Sleepless nights
I wonder why i can't sleep
 Why my mind is either racing or blank
 Why i don't feel tired
 or i am so tired i cannot sleep
 I wonder if it's my meds
 i don't think it is
 I mean i didn't sleep when i was off them
 It's like a monster is haunting me
 IT doesn't want to let me go
 It doesn't want to say goodbye
 and let me slip into peace
 All i wish for is to close my eyes
 and just drift off into darkness
 But my monster won't let me
 Maybe i need something
 Maybe i could just go to the doctor
 Tell her i can't sleep
 Maybe she could give me something
 I would be able to say goodbye
 to the monster that lurks in my body
 Why can't i sleep
 I would think i am tired enough
 it's been months since i slept
 almost a year
 All i want is at least one full night
 Of this holly thing we call rest
 So can someone or something give me that
 Soon please cause my monster is here
 ready to haunt me
