The Torment of Insomnia

Oh elusive sleep
I want to lay down
Without making a peep

I long for rest
To slumber all night
Would sure be best

In bed I find no peace
Tossing and turning
Surely I need release

To sleep away the day
Would be so sweet
But for now I just lay

Oh wicked vexation
Let me snore so soundly
My mind has excitation

I will bide my time
Hoping sleep comes soon
So ends my rhyme
