It' another night spent in my head

As I can't drift off to sleep

The world around me is deafening and loud

With words I cannot speak

I turn my ipod on, praying that the music will help

The louder the music plays the louder the noises in my head become

Haunted by the ghosts of my inner soul

Nowhere to go and no where to run

I'm sweating now as I shout and my ipod is thrown across the room

Begging and pleading with whatever can hear me

"PLEASE JUST LET ME SLEEP!"

"Just let me sleep..."

Darkness gives way to light

I'm sitting in the middle of the room, wide awake

My eyes are bloodshot and my face is tearstained

Clutching my knees to my chest

I'm cold and I am shivering

Crying even harder now, I raise my hands to my head, gripping tightly

Willing the noise to just stop, willing sleep to come

Praying one last time to anything that might hear me

The sun is shining through my window

Taunting me, patronizing me, telling me It's time to get up now

The battle has been won

Me-0 Insomnia -1

I still can't fucking sleep!
