Counting sheepless nights ?

Count sheep they say to me
Shut your eyes, drift away
I follow this advice wholeheartedly
But no sleep does come my way

Lying yet another full night
Desperate & shattered
I try my best not to dwell
As if no sleep actually mattered

Days, weeks, months has passed
With very little rest at all
Oblivion, the only thing I will not dread
When it comes to be my call

Simply to close my eyes & sleep
Is this too much to ask ?
I have tried everything suggested
Complete with a blackout eye mask

But my brain is too programmed
An efficient computer thats on the blink
Dam thing hasn’t mastered yet the will never able to think

Ah well I realise another solo, lonely dark sleepless fate
As I glance at the time on my clock
Its time to get up at any rate

Trouble is come daylight
I look absolutely fine
No one can guess my body
Is treading on a very fine line

Ah well perhaps tonights the night
I tell myself hopefully I will dream
Oh how much I would enjoy thatun’
I’d be ‘Like the cat that got it’s cream’
