My body whispers
To my head now
It is time for shut eye
If the head will allow

My head says no politely
It would rather stay up all night
Thinking of every mistake I have made
Every foolish fight

Or how life is so short
And we are only gifted with so little
Our body grows old and our souls tired
The bones ache and become brittle

All unfair events
That are out of our hands
Plays though my head
And my heart does not understand

I stay awake and cry at night
Because my brain puts up a fight
With my body out of spite
Because my brain tells everyone 'it's alright'

Nothing is right
My life feels out of control
I feel like I am having a midlife crises
Though I am only sixteen years old

After my brain battles my body
Over control of the dark
It is worn and weathered
With it's several marks

The brain whispers back
'I am done for a few days
You may sleep for now'
It says in a craze

So I can now sleep
Because my brain is worn down
Though the cycle with soon repeat
Everything is alright for now
