It's 12 o'clock, the house is still
yet I can't sleep, although it's my will
My thoughts are there,
they won't shut down!
My eyes are heavy
from too little sleep
but the brain just keeps going
straight back into the deep!
I think about what has to be done
the list is endless
the mind racing from this to another one
What if, how do we, when, why, where to
"My angels" I ask, "please help me to sleep"
clearing the mind, breathing quite deep
and in pops another one of those thoughts
and off I go thinking, but it's all for nought.
A noise here and there
is enough to start me again
"what was that?", "should I check?"
What if, how do we, when, why, where to
I'm so tired, yet wide awake
as my family sleeps
I remember to protect them
there goes another 20 minutes
I look at the clock
and decide to get up
Maybe some milk and some writing
will get my mind to stop
So quiet it is
except for my mind
Another 10 minutes
perhaps then sleep I will find.
