18/1/96 5 am

Hypnotised by insomnia
I'm begging for relief
from mind numbing boredom,
relief to end this mischief
of the mind

a mind gone wrong,
racing out of time,
moving quickly along

As I fail to sleep,
weeping in frustration
disbelief at my awareness
of numb, weary sensations
knowing the sleep debt
will be paid some day
but tomorrow is already today
and awake I stay
