Insomnia

I  wish I had 
Insomnia 
So I would never 
Have to Sleep. 
So I could stay awake 
With the night,
Maybe dance with
The breeze.

I wish I had 
Insomnia 
So that in the depths
Of night, 
I'd be awake 
While the world sheds
The heavy burden 
Of light. 

Maybe if I had 
Insomnia 
I'd get lost in 
The Dark,
But I'd find myself 
Spiritually 
And set myself 
Apart. 

I'd bask in the silence, 
Gaze upon the quiet streets 
Maybe I'd run around 
Emphatically 
With none awake 
To peep. 

Maybe in the Devil's hour, 
I'd call upon God. 
Have a decent conversation with him, 
Might annoy him a lot. 
I'd even tell him my secrets -
The ones that I'd never show,
That's why I'll never sleep at night, 
So I can always grow.
