Sleeplessness from Velveteen by Delsey Hill

soothing dark around
yet no way to shut down
the endless alloy
of body pain and racing thoughts

sighting future times
either about great goals
or wasting the life
i could have led tomorrow

help
someone lift me to this place
where the body feels okay
and keeps up with the mind's pace
i just sleep my days away

troubles bearing with
the contract of earthlings
the spirit disease
of being tied to a body

tired eyes can't see
tired arms cannot upheave
tired mind can't conceive
i have everything but sleep

hell
i will lift me to this place
where the body feels okay
and keeps up with the mind's pace
i can't sleep my days away
