Its midnight
I am sitting here
Half between awake
And half between sleep
Not quite knowing
When my eyes will finally rest
When my mind will actually quit
Enough for me to simply sleep
So many things on my mind
That I just can't put it to rest
Long enough to actually fall asleep
I know that my body needs it
It's when we do most of our healing
I know that if I don't
I am only hurting myself in the end
I know all of these things
But knowing is different
From actually getting there
I want to be able to sleep
To feel that calm that comes
When I am free
In my head
In my dreams
When I can feel rested
Rejuvenated
Ready for a new day
Instead I sit here awake
Knowing that its going to be
Another long night ahead
Hopefully my wishes will be answered
And I will find rest tonight
But I have a feeling
This just isn't going to happen
