Fighting To Sleep

the chemicals fighting 
for control of my brain
must toss and turn in battle
like I do in my bed
the sleepy ones slaying
the wakey ones
a churning war inside my head

Oh, I am so there some days. Wondering whether a sleeping pill would be the perfect thing to take at 2 a.m. or if it would prevent me from leaving for work at 6:30.
