Can'T Sleep

Sleep 
Evades 
Even when counting sheep 
Or listening to a serenade.
I guess I need a sandwich of peanut butter and
Marmalade 
To end my slumberness.
I can't understand why my mind has gone to being a 
Renegade.
I'm powerless.
It seems tonight my thoughts are bottomless.
I am laying in bed open eyed.
Never the less 
However, tomorrow a nap would be justified.
