Go To Sleep Please

Be quiet.
I'm trying to fall asleep.
Stop the disquiet.
I shouldn't need to count sheep.
I'm not interested
in what you might say.
You've been treated for what's inhibited.
You should be okay.
It's of no consequence to me
what you're wearing tomorrow.
Put something on with glee.
I refuse to live in your sorrow.
I'm tired of your fear.
A person shouldn't live this way.
Are you afraid to steer?
Will your direction ever sway?
You need to find the momentum
and flow with the one you love.
Be sure it's with them
and awake to the sun above.

From the picture, could be the sheep are part of the (disquiet) problem! lol. Maybe count stuffed animals instead... Here's to restful sleep! :) gw
