Insomnia

My eyes feel so heavy

But I can't seem to sleep

One, Two, Three, Four

I whisper, counting all the sheep

 

My body feels so drained

But still, it won't shut down

Yawn, stretch, inhale, exhale

Repeating with no sound

 

My mind feels so empty

But why can't I rest?

Falling, Falling, Falling, JUMP!

Nerves put to the test

 

My soul feels so restless

But I want to go to bed!

Thoughts, questions, things, people

Running through my head

 

Too many thoughts inside my head.

I just want to go to bed.

To the world

I am dead.
