20. INSOMNIA – 3.

TOSSING AND TURNING

I LAY AWAKE

WISHING AND HOPING

FOR DAY TO BREAK

WHAT IS THE POINT

OF LYING IN BED?

WIDE AWAKE

WITH THOUGHTS IN MY HEAD

THOUGHTS GOING ROUND

OF WHAT I COULD DO

KEEPING ME ‘WAKE

ALL THE NIGHT THROUGH

AND WORRYING THAT

WHEN MORNING ARRIVES

I’LL FINALLY FIND

THAT SLEEP HITS MY EYES

BUT TOO LATE TO SLEEP

TOO LATE TO REST

THE DAY’S GOING TO BE

ONE, LONG TEST.

WISHING AND HOPING

WHEN NIGHT COMES AROUND

I’LL LAY IN MY BED

AND SLEEP SAFE AND SOUND.
