Restless staring at the back of my eyelids

Thoughts pinging around in an endless game of pong

What to cook, what to write

God please tell me I turned the stove off

~

Finally I can feel it sleep has caught up

But wait what's that noise did something harrumph

No that's ridiculous everyone else is asleep

And just like that sleep creeps away from me

~

I count sheep, I count clouds

Doing mathematics tables in my mind

Get up to the millions then lose focus in my mind

Go have a smoke that'll calm my nerves

Wait I looked at the internet sleep can wait some more

~

Alright let's try this again eyelids closed

Tired enough now I fall off undisturbed

No dreams once again though I guess that isn't true

Without dreams you'll go mad fun fact for all of you

~

I haven't remembered my dreams in about ten years time

For the better in all honesty used to have nightmares all the time

My brain finally stopped showing them though

So for that I guess I'm glad

But now sleep is just a hall of darkness no happy or sad

~

Awake once again

Sleep the ultimate time machine

Close my eyes experience darkness

And time passes for me

~

Awake once again

And yet all I want is five more minutes to sleep

This is another set of ramblings from my mind as I think on my writing. I hope you understand but hopefully not relate. But if you do relate then know you've got one more sister who gets you. I hope you enjoyed it. If you did then please like, subscribe, and feel free to leave a tip. Till next time.
