Insomnia

Insomnia

Please I'll do anything for some sleep.

Another night with racing thoughts.

Please, my fingers are crossed.

I can’t turn my brain off, like you would a light.

Please, I've been so polite.

Like a kid I throw a tantrum, remember that scene from Bruce Almighty?

Yup

Yup, I did that last night.

And not matter what it is. Karma, that bitch always knows.

I have to get up and remake my bed,

Yeah I know, I got my own Karma thrown right back at me.

Yeah, I know, that's what I get for throwing a tantrum like a toddler.

But have you gone days, weeks, months, years without proper sleep?

I have.

Being in the hospital all the time as a kid, they wake you up every two hours.

Insomnia was then diagnosed.

Then a brain injury, then add my shoulder injury, toss in some chronic pain.

That’s the stuff right there.

The recipe, if you want to call it that.

For the great Erica’s sleep battle, welcome to my show.

I’ve tried everything to rest my head.

I’ve had some of the best bed head hair in the world.

I could win trophies.

But all I want right now is sleep and rest, a gold star sleep.
