This damn heat
It tortures me so
No sleep at night
Awake during the day
Sleepless lately
And the feeling of dread
When sleep does come
It is for an hour or two
When I awake
I am drenched in sweat
My eyes see what isn't there
And my mind cannot remember
Just a good night's sleep
That is what I want now
To keep my sanity
To stop these sleepless nights
The waking hours
Were never so long
Keeping me down
Fighting away the boredom>
Trying to keep myself sane
While the tricks
Of sleeplessness start
Washing them away with cold water
Yet they come back
After each sleepless night
I think it's 5 now
And the 6th is tonight
How many will there be?
Though, it isn't just this heat
That causes me to not sleep
The problems are piled on
Until I must falter
Drop and fall
And let them all go
But I wont falter
And I wont let myself fall
I shall survive these
And whatever else comes my way.
