Can'T Sleep Poem by susan brealey

Lying in bed
With my eyes wide open
Trying to drift off
And be lost in sleep
Without any worries at all
But I can't sleep
All these thoughts
Are swarming my head
Leaving me worried, paranoid
Wanting nothing more
Than it all to end
Wanting to just give up
Pain claws at me
And tears me apart
As I try to sleep
But I can't
I can only lie here
Hurting, wondering
What is happening to me?
Do I really deserve
All this pain and suffering
Or am I just doomed to
Be forever distraught?
I don't want to be upset
Or hurt and cry
I just want to drift off
And be lost in
A world of dreams
And never-ending glee
Where there is no pain
Only happiness and joy
A world of wonder
Where all is good
And I can be happy
But I can't go there
And be happy
I can only be upset
And lost in sorrow
All simply because
I can't sleep
