Following faults that can run deep,
you end up questioning yourself.
Sometimes, when one can't fall asleep,
one starts analyzing oneself.
Probing intent,
and discontent.
My active mind won't let me sleep,
asking what-ifs, baiting myself
But, I can't equate counting sheep
to this introspection of self.
I'm resting some,
but sleep won't come.
