Perchance......

Myriad of moments
Sleep-deprived
Things seem backwards
Dreams can't be revived

Endless situations
Turned on their head
Was it something
That I did or I said

Lost mid-sentence
My train of thought
Precious moments
Can't be begged or bought

Frontal lobe cries out in pain
Another sleepless night again
Take me from this wretched place
Smooth the lines etched on my face
Hold me, calm me, soothe me so
You know the place I need to go
The land of giant slumbering snores
Give my whole self time to pause

Two twenty eight
The clock ticks on
In some strange blur
An hour has gone

Pushing closer
To the dawn
To be filled with coffee
And stifled yawn

The day, the night
No line between
Where sleep and wakefulness
Should have been

Frontal lobe cries out in pain
A sleepless night yet again
Drag me from this wretched place
I surrender whole, there's no disgrace
In wanting the night to be just so
Where silence reigns and words don't flow
Let me have my giant slumbering snores
Give my whole self time to pause
