Insomnia

It's the fear that keeps me up all night

That one day I'll grow up and change forever

To something I might hate for all my life

And I'll look back in regret ad remember.

It's the ideas that my mind keeps talking about.

The ones that don't make me fall asleep.

My mind's voice never relents

It speaks every minute and every second to me.

What if these ideas remain ideas forever?

Will I join the infinite number of people with broken dreams?

And even if I succeed and do not falter

Will my sleep come back to me?
