Mar 31
4 minutes past midnight,
the moon brought a new light,
My need for sleep has gone by,
I lay in my bed I wonder why,

I cannot let what's on my mind,
flee until I'm satisfied,
Can't let you know how i feel,
I lock the door with strength of steel,

12 minutes now in a new day,
Things still don't plan to go my way,
I need to rest to close my eyes,
I need to reach that paradise,

Now 30 minutes this seems strange,
Is my mind locked in a cage,
It seem I'm left with single thought,
Could I win if I had fought,

1 hour now my eyes are weak,
this is it I reached my peak,
my eyelids fell they felt so heavy,
Guess after all I wasn't ready.
