Sleep

I lay here. Once again tonight. Minutes keep passing. I watch them tic by. Can't sleep again. I turn and try to close my eyes. All I do is think. Again and again. I grow more tired. Minute after minute. I can't stop thinking. Mind racing. Night after night. What time is it? It's been hours now. Just cant stop thinking. Constantly running through and through. The time keeps passing. Just want to go to bed. Don't even want to look at the clock. Afraid to see how much time has elapsed. Can't stop my thoughts. Still looking at the clock. The minutes fly by. I think I'm drifting off. Just another sleepless night. Night after night. Every night. Another night just like the rest. Wish you could see and get in my head. Keep yawning but seems to mean nothing. Eyes pop right open. Need to go to bed right now. I think I see the sun. Tossing and turning. All I want is to sleep.
