As every one's gone to their dreamland
I'm still here, fighting the sandman
Things don't make much sense at this hour
Though it's the time everything gets so clear and sour
Nothing changes in the way things go on
As I'm about to cry out that I'm done
It's 3 AM, I'm still awake
Someone put me to sleep for God's sake
The flickering lights outside the building
Make believe it's a very simple thing
But as this keeps going on like this
Unknown, the chaos behind the darkness remains
The system is broken in it's core
As I'm about to scream I can't take it anymore
It's 4 AM, I'm still awake
Someone put me to sleep for God's sake
I can start hearing the early woken cars
As I begin to tear up my old scars
What used to be enough
Is not enough anymore
The thought that kept me going
Left me here to drown in my sorrow
It's 5 AM, I'm still awake
Someone put me to sleep for God's sake
As the sun starts to show its glory
I keep counting sheep as if in a story
The birds start cheering, I'll need the ear plugs
Though it's the life itself that's what really bugs
What used to help me sleep at night
It's gone, as I personally welcome the light
It's 6 AM, I'm still awake
Someone put me to sleep for God's sake
About
- Alev
- Antalya, Türkiye
- I'm someone that dreams 24/7. Someone that doesn't sleep at night to avoid missing the sunrise. Anyone of them can be my salvation. My way out. The thing that will light up my life like it does with the rest of the world. My hope. Until that day comes, I will spend my days in school and nights in front of the TV, listening to music like any other would do. It's just that simple.

This is a new one, as you can guess from how the poem goes, I wrote this one at 6 AM in the morning... :/ I think I've finally overcome Writer's Block, but I've messed up my sleeping hours as well. I can't seem to keep both of them going at the same time. xD xD Hope you'll like it. :)
"It's 6 AM, I'm still awake

How this keeps coming in the poem... it sucks you right in. I'm beyond impressed with this one. <3
I thought that part would be kinda funny. :D Thanks sweetheart, glad you liked it! <3 :)
I really love that poem, especially the chorus and:
What used to help me sleep at night
It's gone, as I personally welcome the light
My only trouble with this poem is the word 'frowny', Otherwise its one of my very favorite poems you've written, great job Alev
Thanks!
Hmmm, you really didn't like "frowny" there, huh? Hell, who am I to brake your heart? We'll change it if you hated it. :) Hope you'll like the new version better.
Much better Alev, sorry if I was a pain.. :P
"Things don't make much sense at this hour

"The flickering lights outside the building
Make believe it's a very simple thing" top class

Thanks so much Amin! :D I was actually having a hard time sleeping that day, I sat at 6 am in the morning and wrote it! xD xD And the same routine still continues. :S
i would both annoy the crap out of everybody (you wouldn't like me if I was tired) and eventually (in like 2 nights) die of sleep deprivation :P
Haha! :D :D The worst part about me is that I'm used to it... This can go on for weeks, months even... :S
