This is a poem I wrote in 2004. I imagine all of my poetry set to music, but I am rarely able to come up with my own tunes. I imagine parts of this one to Boulevard of Broken dreams by Green Day. It's getting late and I can't sleep When I hold still I can hear no peep My mind is stuck in overdrive But I'm so tired I barely feel alive As I lie on my bed Visions of distant lands dance through my head But I know that it's all fake And these dreams are just here keeping me awake Can't fall asleep 'cause I'm so wired Been working all day and now I'm tired Please help me fall asleep tonight Sometime before first sunlight Take these dreams away Dreams, dreams, go away Come again some other day Leave me alone and let me be Leave me alone and set me free As I lie on my bed Visions of distant lands dance through my head But I know that it's all fake And these dreams are just here keeping me awake Take these dreams away Can't fall asleep 'cause I'm so wired Been working all day and now I'm tired Please help me fall asleep tonight Sometime before first sunlight Take these dreams away
