Troubled Sleep

I live, work, breathe, go through the motions, unnequivocally unchanging 
on the narrow path tiresomely steep
yet I'm  always asleep when I weep

rattled by the things I see and hear
almost an inclusion, a sight 
a narrow corridor, a peep
most people are confoundly irritated when I am around, perhaps that's why I'm always asleep when I weep

I've heard it before absorbed from generations of ancient stories given to us by centuries past through the ground
I'm far too stupid to be profound
Grandad died with a knowledge 
he has taken it with him to keep
Yet to me it's a repetitive sound
maybe that's why I'm always asleep when I weep, too tired to carry on
I always sleep then I weep
