Sleep

I can not sleep now
To many thoughts in mind
Can not sleep at all
I have tried for hours
Yet I toss and turn

What can I do
How can I sleep
Turn off the thoughts
Let me get sleep

That is it
I will write
Until I sleep

How long
How many

SLEEP

When I work, I work hard, when I play, I play hard, and when I think, I go to sleep. Is that the problem with you? LOL Keep writing. Sara

This is me....lying in bed, trying to sleep...and finally giving in to writing in my head...when thoughts come together. Well said!! ~ Carrie
