The Sleepy Nightshift

It's that time again, to close my eyes and start my sleepless nightshift,
My sanity and sleep have seemingly developed a midnight rift.
I cannot seem to sleep peacefully into the night,
My imagination is constantly up for this midnight fight.

This silent fight goes on for many hours,
Until the final bell and for them to head for the showers.

Should I start planning things to discuss with myself at night?,
Somehow that doesn't quite sound so right...
But aren't I talking to myself right now?
Well done sense of humour, please take a bow.

What next?
Will I start to suffer any side effects?
Perhaps i should consider the pill that will put your mind to rest,
Or is this some kind of strange insomniac initiation test?

When will I know when I stop making sense?
Sanity spoke "not sure, I'm still on the fence"

Days Of Doubt

Good day. I'm never less than brilliant. At all tasks I take on. I'm amazing at computer games. At drawing I'm the don. I'm a genius with my word play. With a cue I am the "one".

Then Will Everything Be Okay

If I close my eyes tight. And block out the world. Then will everything be okay. If I pray and pray. And wish on my lucky stars. Then will everything be okay. If I put on a smile.

Take Me Sleep

A good nights sleep is always in need, But a good nights sleep never comes to me. I have school in the morning, And at 7 AM I'll be yawning, Because that sleep never gave me my dream.

Miserable Cow!!

Feeling absolutely shite. On this windy stormy night. When is summer going to start. Such a heavy heavy heart. I have to pull myself out of this slump. And stop moaning like a heavy lump.
