night comes again and im left to dance the dance of the sleepless
no more sleeping pills to force me into dreamless sleep
the night belongs to me and me alone
tv is useless unless i want to buy the latest roaster,
smasher, juicer, dehydrator on the market
so im left alone with the night and waking dreams
the friends in my head keep me company through every midnight
inspiring me to sieze the night
Carpe Nocturne!
my sleepless mind wonders through the halls of my mind tonight
memories tucked away, barrels of shame,
tubs filled with what if`s and could have beens
i walk alone through the endless sleepless nights.
oh dream me sweet sleep!

Oh, this sounds like me before I got a computer and discovered diphenhydramine
Love the line "Carpe Nocturne!" Thanks for entering.

i absolutely loved reading this
i will have to say, that of all your grandeur, my favorite line;
"Carpe Nocturne!"
is the best
but maybe that's because i'm such a big fan of Dead Poet Society
excellent job

I love this! Such vivid images ... I can see the infomercials ... thoughts going non-stop in your head ...
"my sleepless mind wonders through the halls of my mind tonight
memories tucked away, barrels of shame,
