The Voice That Intrudes
The Voice That Intrudes :
It would be so quiet here
so quiet here tonight
I know it would be
if not for the voice
the voice that intrudes
the voice that tries
to deprive me of sleep
and it is almost midnight now
I'm about to turn in shortly
the voice is there waiting
waiting to escalate
the voice never seems
to take a night off
so this battle for sleep
has become something of a routine
sometimes I gain ground
sometimes I lose it
I am glad to report
that it has now been
well over a year since this voice
deprived me of an entire night of sleep
this is not a complete victory
not while the struggle still goes on
yet it is some measure of victory
and I'll gladly hold on to that
and I will continue to strive
to win back the night from this voice
