I Guess I Can Sleep When I'm Dead

Its Late or early there’s no difference anymore. Sleep is a ghost that taunts, a memory that haunts, and a feeling that I can't quite remember. I move towards it, never getting closer always the same distance away. I want it, badly, my eyes are heavy, but still its too far out of reach. I can't ignore this. I can't rest. Too many thoughts, too many feelings, rocking me at my core. All I want to do is lay down, close my eyes, and drift off into a deep sleep. Where all my problems and worries, cease to exist, if only for a few hours.
