Insomnia

What prevents me from getting sleep

If you look at my heart, it shows scars

Its been wounded and torn apart

It's been through war, it's had it hard

From living life in the dark to behind bars

I want all the pain to be over

No more hollow feelings of sorrow

Im searching for a better tomorrow but can't sleep

because I hear the door creek

And in the distance what I see

I can't see, in the doorway stands nothing

I wait and I wait but there's still no hope

I just want one night where I don't have to mope

A night of dreams full of light

Instead of the scary dark that frights

Help me escape what stays inside

Before it's too late and comes alive

To take control and take me away

I need someone but no one here stays

Will I ever embrace the taste of feeling happy

Or will I forever feel lonely, left a nobody

I lay awake in my bed

While the moon appears before my window above my head

I look at that window, to try and visualize a life

Where I can sleep silently through the night

Though I can't depict this image it's all within

My imagination of a world full of celebration

But all i'm facing is what i'll never witness

I can't dream when I get no sleep

All im left to do is just think

Knowing that my life stinks and inside i'm empty

Hoping the monsters will let me be

So I could have just one night of some peace.

Very aptly described when mind is full of thoughts and you can't sleep. I loved the lines
