Don'T Let Me Take My Sleeping Pill Poem by BRUCE MARTONE

I CRY AND CRY AND CRY TO WHAT I DON'T KNOW
I TRY AND I TRY AND I TRY TO LET GO BUT TO WHO
AND I SAID WHY OH WHY OH WHY BUT NO ONE WAS THERE
I WAVE GOODBYE GOODBYE GOODBYE TO EMPTY ROOM
SO IS THIS A DREAM OF MINE THAT I'M IN DEEP WITH
OR AM I IN ONE OF THOSE
SILIENT SLEEPS WHERE I CAN'T MOVE
FROM MY SLEEPING PILL
BECAUSE I SAID AND I SAID BUT NO ONE HEARD
I DID AND I DID BUT I DIDN'T LEARN
SO IF THIS IS A DREAM WAKE ME UP SOME MORE
AND IF THIS IS FROM MY SLEEPING PILL
THAN DON'T LET ME TAKE IT ANY MORE
