Asleep

Every night lying awake, 

Every night my head starts to ache,

So many things running through my head,

making it impossible to go to bed.

Some nights I think I'm better off dead, 

Then maybe the pain will end.

I don't know why I push on,

everything would be better if I was gone.

I'm tired of this shitty life,

I sleep all day and stay up all night.

Maybe one day I'll finally be able to shut my damn eyes, go to sleep, and wake up,

but for now I am stuck, lying awake,

watching the sun rise and moon fall every day.

No one knows what's going on,

but that will change when I am done.

I wish I could take a peek, 

at what it's like to be asleep.

I toss and turn for hours on end,

just to see the sun rise again.

I try so hard to fall asleep,

yet fail terribly.

I wish this damn game would end,

I just want to go to bed.

I can't do this anymore,

I need help, that's for sure.
