I Don'T Want To Write Anymore

I don't wanna write tonight anymore.
My fingers are cramping more and more.

I keep getting rhymes rushing through my brain.
My hand grabs the pen no matter the pain.

I'm tired, Mind, make it stop.
Another day, I'll pick up where we left off.

My head's going to burst.
My body throbbing of sleep thirst.

Just for tonight, Leave me alone 
I need time on my own.
I need to go to bed and not write anymore.

I know how you feel. I'm in a bit of a lull right now. It's scary 'cause these things go in waves. Good poem and good luck sleeping!
