Taken Hold

Almost2am and I'm still awake and then, I realize I let my mind win again. Some how it seems to always get the best of me. Penetrating thoughts that won't leave me be. Can't break there grasp,they take hold and won't let go. Leaving me with thoughts unobtainable to know. Try to ignore them,but they dig till they leave a hole. Clawing away till they breach my very soul. I need so deep, to fall asleep but they dance inside my head. I wish so much they didn't have this clutch,so I could fall asleep instead. In my head they race, so the floor I pace, leaving no chance for ease. And now all I can do, is ask of you, release your grip on me please.
