Eyes Wide Open
I lay in bed, eyes wide open,
Counting sheep, but they have all spoken,
My mind races, thoughts galore,
But sleep, oh sleep, it's such a chore.
The clock ticks on, the night grows old,
My body tired, but my mind so bold,
I toss and turn, I try to rest,
But insomnia has passed its test.
The moonlight shines through the windowpane,
As I lay here with my thoughts in vain,
The world is quiet, but my mind so loud,
I wish for sleep, to join the crowd.
But alas, it's just not meant to be,
Insomnia has taken hold of me,
And so I'll lay here, eyes open wide,
Until the morning sun does rise.
