My Dreams Won't Let Me Sleep

Why are my dreams waking me up?  

I am so deprived of sleep and even more of encouragement.
I'm speaking louder every day and no one knows what I meant.
I think I'm ready to quiet down, I just want some peace now.
Dear dark night,
Please clear my mind.

Why do I lay awake when my arms are far too tired to move?
Why can't my thoughts take me to the land I love?
I want to curl up next to my dreams and fall asleep,
But all my dreams keep crashing down too hard on me.

Seems one by one those who used to care start to leave,
I want to hold tight to those who still have some loyalty,
And yet some days I wish that I could draw all night,
And let my dreams be washed away by the sunlight.
Dear bright sun,
Please take me,
You let me sleep so dream-free.

I go down the stairs,
And tilt my head back,
Just hoping that,
I can lose track,
Of the world,
That's trying to get to me,
Reverse all time,
And life life happily.
This is not usually the kind of poetry I do.
In fact, it's more like the kind of lyrics I'd have if I ever wrote an electropop/colorpop/trance song.

Some of this is actually how I'm feeling, some of it is metaphorical, and some of it is both. Have fun deciphering which is which.

If someone ever actually made a song using some of these lyrics I would probably burst with joy
