Trying To Sleep

Everyone is sleeping, but am not.. Room is full of silence, & weather is hot. I have closed my eyes,as dreaming deep.. But am not lost in thoughts, just trying to sleep. Its 3 at night, n everythings dark.. But am willing to go outside n walk in a park. Willing to feel cool air & breathe long.. Looking at the time, I realize, its wrong. What if I call someone at this time.. No, anyone will think, am not fine. I should have not sleep in evening like that.. 5 hours, I have already slept.. now feeling bad. I know time is not right.. But attempting a sleep, am texting friends, GOOD NIGHT.
