Awake, it seems all the time
To sleep, it's become a rhyme
When I can't my head gets in a bind
But I pretend everything is fine
Past memories flash in the mind
And recent moments also unwind
Of future things I've yet to find
Some good, others not too kind
Losses and failures start to replay
Gains and success, will also play,
Of things that will always stay
With me until I'm old and gray
When I am asleep my mind will relax
Medication made dreaming contract
And nightmares also are what I lack Asleep I won't have a panic attack
Without sleep it would be chaos
Thoughts commanding like a boss
Growing and creeping like moss
For sleep..the oceans I would cross
