Restless
Long are the nights that never end
When the mind flickers through thoughts
Trying to find reasons that mend
When you struggle with sleep, a mind fills with knots
To wish the nights be one of comfort
To close your eyes and awaken at dawn
Remembering dreams that flash and flirt
So you may smile through the days and beyond
Yet you find yourself restless, to toss and turn
And imagine sleep may soon creep upon
To find it never appears, though you yearn
When you realize sleep has gone
