A Sleep Without Dreams Poem by M. Asim Nehal

I close my eyes hoping to rest
but all I get is a mind full of pests
They jump and crawl, driving me crazy
I'd rather stay awake, sipping a jug of coffee
what's the use of sleeping without a dream?
It's like watching a movie without a screen
I can't escape, I can't fly or soar
I just lying in bed, feeling bored
am I alive or am I dead?
In this state I cannot ahead
my body is there, but my mind is already disappear
I can't even count sheep, I must be a pawn
my mind is buzzing, thoughts running wild
no peaceful slumber, just a restless child
come back my dreams and toss me up
and let me play with stars and moon.
