Insomnia

I lay awake and worry
On things I cant control
How to change my future
Or put my past on hold

I try to think of something else
Close my eyes and clear my head
Erase my mind of worry
For the day I have ahead

Sleep will help me start out fresh
Awake with different views
If only I could finally rest
I could start my day renewed

So I lay there and I tell myself
That it's time for me to sleep
If only I could start to dream
I would get the rest I need
