The Insomnia Blues

I’ve been awake
For many an hour
The situation
Is rather dour

My legs are restless
I kicked them all night
It was very aggravating
I have a mental blight

My body is exhausted
But my mind
Won’t let me sleep
A solution I must find

I took some melatonin
And had a cup of herbal tea
Sadly none of these
Worked for me

Chronic insomnia is brutal
It takes a great toll
Falling asleep soon
Is my goal

I burn the midnight oil
I read Scripure and pray
Maybe in the future
Things will go my way
