InsomniaA Poem by Barry SheltonVerse 1: Lets take a second while I get myself together I've had endless sleepless nights and these walls they talk, I know because can I hear them I feel my sanity slipping Breathing now slowing as I slip into bed But my eyes cant seem to close, and the blood is rushing to my head
Chorus: I am bouncing of the walls Cant stop these thoughts running through my mind The night has a death grip on me it seems It wont let me go, I cant leave it behind The thread is about to break but im at the point where, what difference would it make?
Verse 2: Hallucinations now taking over The spiders crawl up the walls I am losing it completely This restlessness taking its toll I write my thoughts on paper, let the ink bleed onto the page thinking maybe it would help a little, release some of this strain God help me, I think i've gone insane!
repeat chorus
Bridge: Suffocating under my covers hoping I can escape there are ghosts living in my walls They wont leave me be, wont let me sleep I scream out to the sky looking for relief © 2013 Barry SheltonAuthor's Note
