Watching every hour pass on the clock

Lying down as usual taking stock

No sleep tonight is the fear

In this bed just sitting here

Have tried everything to fall asleep

I dream of a sleep so deep

Take zimovan, olanzapine and valium

But here lies the tedium

Over years of medication I’ve become immune

As each night becomes another afternoon

Sometimes I get stuff done

Sometimes I just sit there all alone

It’s quieter at night

Darkness envelops with the absence of light

It’s at night that an idea could spark

And over the years I have grown to love the dark

And even though at night it does attack

I’ve left behind being a dipsomaniac

And have managed to keep things on track

Just the meanderings of an insomniac
