When your arm stretches out
I don’t have to take it
just let you hang
Soon, you’ll grow droopy
like my eyelids
fighting a losing battle
All the decent men and women are taken
I am left alone to ponder
at 3am
and trying to arm wrestle
till 5am
then I’ll feel like a pathetic winner
that defeated sleep

Insomnia
Cardboard head, that’s the effect you have on me
Cardboard head, that’s the outcome of your torment
The muffling in my brain
The flattening of my occipital bone
The iron board pillow
The tree bark pillow case
The coffin bed
Cardboard head, that’s the punishment you delivered
I rather you punched me in the gut
That way, at least I vomited blood
And I know I am alive.
If I were alive, I would have persecuted you
I would have revenged by snoring,
while laughing in victory.
I would have shouted…
‘Ha! I beat you Insomnia!’
