I lay down for the night
and rest my weary eyes
hoping tonight will bring
some sleep but in this darkness
my thoughts start to multiply
and sanity slowly slips away
and as the sun starts creeping
through the cracks between
the shades it calls me out to
battle through another day
I just need one more hour
to sleep sweet relief
from the demons in my mind
I toss and turn but nothing
seems to work. Can't turn
off these nervous thoughts
and though I'm shutting
my mind's stuck powered on
I peel my body up and
pour myself a cup
Go through the motions
of the day. And try
to figure out a way
to reconcile the two sides
at war inside of me
As seconds turns to minutes
and hours into days. My thoughts
evaporate into the haze of real
life dreams. I need to clear my mind
of everything so I can get some sleep
