Three am

I've been awake since three am 
My mind just woke up suddenly 
It circled round and round on things 
Needing attention urgently 

It panicked and catastrophised 
It wandered back in time 
It made a massive grocery list 
And theorised sublime 

I bargained and I threatened it 
Got up and down from bed 
Tossed and turned uselessly 
Now I'm feeling halfway dead 

But I've made a plan this morning 
It's bound to work for sure 
If I can stay awake till midnight 
I'll sleep right through til......*snore *
