Why Am I Awake?

Why am I awake?
I want to sleep
And yet here I am
Sitting in bed as I weep

Something robbing
Me, I can’t control
And I am sobbing
From deep within my soul

I want to rest
I want to dream
I hold my breath
Try not to scream

My brain is wired
My emotions, on fire
My body, tired

Why am I awake?
