Thoughts On a Sleepless Night
Like the flames of a candle,
Thoughts flicker through my head.
They keep me awake
As I lie on my bed.
I feel lost and confused.
They swarm like locusts.
Do they have meaning?
Or are they hocus pocus?
I'm tossing, I'm turning.
These visions bombard me.
I want to scream out,
"Enough! Flee far from me!"
I just want to rest.
My eyes feel heavy.
So I scribble these words down.
I think I'm finally ready.
