It’s amazing what lack of sleep does to your mind
Colors look brighter
Sounds are sharper
The whole worlds seems alive
I can’t tell you what time it is
But it feels like I’m dead
I’m light headed
Dim witted

The suns in the sky
The night died into the morning
I should be in bed
But the voices in my head
Wont let me fall asleep
I’m getting kind of weak
From this miserable lack of sleep

They can give you some pills
Enough for the week
Sleep comes to some
Or maybe none
But for me it’s elusive
A real sly recluse’s

Sleepless night
Alone in my bed
Not alone in my head
So I’ll lay here awake
Till the sun wakes the sky
With orange amber lights
Slaying the night
And announcing the day

*Note* I didn't post this in Dark poetry because well there's not much dark about it...so I thought here maybe. If not one of the Mod's if, they'd be so kind could move it to the proper place. X_X It's not my best work mainly because it was written in the wee hours of the morning.*
