Sleep they tell me,
But I am unable.
My brain won't settle,
My thoughts are racing wildly.
Round and round a track,
Endlessly they go.
And so I lie awake.
Sleep they tell me,
But I cannot.
For these things I see
Look ravenous.
It's as if perhaps if I were to sleep,
They'd eat me alive.
And so I lie awake
Sleep they tell me,
Alas, I am inept.
Sleep they tell me.
