Too Tired

Blurry thoughts, hurried thoughts, they need to settle down. Too tired to move, to worn out to groove, I'm frustrated all around. Crazy voice, I have no choice, I want to surrender to sweet sleep. Twisted thinking, racing blinking, my mind is an overgrown trash heap. Eyes wide, I cannot hide, the redness of my inflaming anger Too little relief, too much grief, the warning signs flash Danger danger. I'm on overload, so I am told, need to shut my lethargic eyes. Trying to sleep, car horns beep. can't they hear my cries. My body is done, before the day has begun and it's only half past nine. I hear you call, down the hall, pillow why can't you be mine. Tic tock, goes the clock, the day is dwindling, departing from me. Sleep, blessed sleep, is what I need, why can't anyone see. Eyes burn, to close I yearn, my fists are clenched tight This I can't take, going to break, I know it isn't right. Shut down, the world around, this is my last attempt at sanity. If I'm still awake, I will break, and you better stay away from me. Night falls, my bed calls, the feeling is beyond compare. Tossing, turning, salty eyes stinging, at the ceiling I still stare.
