There's a monster living inside of me
That's been hiding for some time
It's slowly sneaked upon me
Then gone off like a mine

On rare days I feel normal
But usually I'm not
I've other issues too
That make me cold when it is not

It takes me hours to get to sleep
I've tried tablets, meditation and counting sheep
And when I drift off to the land of nod
I can't stay there long, it's an absolute sod

Everyday and all day long
My muscles and joints ache
That's another one of the reasons
That's keeping me awake

I'm constantly tired and struggle at work
I've always been a grafter
And hard labour I'd never shirk

But now I just can't do it
For longer than a few hours
I wish there was a miracle pill
That gave me super powers
