Close My Eyes

close my eyes, wide awake
lie still and try to fake
all my thoughts far away
counting sheep come here to play

Hey, this is a lovely rhyme. It reminds me of the feeling I have when I want to sleep but my brain is on overload -not a nice feeling(and counting sheep doesn't work!). Nice! Very nice!
