Laying in bed
Waiting for sleep
To overcome me.
I hear the clock strike
It's midnight again
Still my eyes wide open.
Mind thinks of this that
Like a busy highway
Of tasks in the morn.
Tired is my body
Yet I can't rest
Listlessly I roll.
Can't sleep, get up
Drink more warm milk
One more pee stop.
Force myself into
A horizontal position
Pull blanket up to eyes.
