Insomnia

I lay awake
I want to rest
A deep sleep
Would be best

To slumber
Like a log
I’d be as happy
As a hog

I desperately
Want to dream
I get so mad
I could scream

Tossing and turning
All night long
There is something
Seriously wrong

I will pray for
Sweet tranquility
When I’ll snore
And repose peacefully
