Sleepless Nights

Sleepless nights I stayed awake Trying to sleep but I just can't fake Bothered by the thoughts that lingered His bloody face, in my mind registered. Sleepless nights became my hobby I hear someone's voice but I see nobody Is it me or it is just paranoia Caused by a sudden phobia? In one sleepless night, the incident flashed back A man in white shirt and brown slacks Was hunted down by two robbers The poor man fell on his knees He stared at me and uttered: "Help me please." With fear, I ran away I did not want to remember that awful day But that incident keeps haunting me For weeks I haven't been drowsy. Conscience knocked my head It's time I get off my bed I should do what is right And put an end to this plight.
