"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
Sleep at 3pm
No problem
But at 3am
Not a chance
What the fuck
Is wrong
With me
That sleep
At night
Just won’t
Advance
The Insomniac’s Paradox
Why should I bother
Going to bed
When there’s nothing
To wake up for
Why should I bother
Waking up
When I enjoy sleeping
So much more

With skin
As tough as leather
And a heart
That’s lined with lead
I wander out
Into the night
To find something else instead
If we are out
In the dead of night
And by chance
Our eyes should meet
What happens next
Will not be short
And it certainly
Won’t be sweet
Full of bleeding heart
That’s me
Slowly dying
For all to see
Hoping for words
To set the world alight
As I scribble away
In the dead of night
As night falls
So does my mood
And I can’t stop crying
Again
The
dark
nights
are
drawing
in
And
there’s
some
comfort
in that
For
when
I finally
slink
away
They
won’t
know
I’m not
coming
back
Bad thoughts creep
As I’m without sleep
For yet another night
Fears won’t keep
Whilst I lie and weep
Losing the will to fight
Live, laugh, love
Comes the wisdom from above
Stop, sob, spite
Is what gets me through the night
