Thoughts racing through my head. Repeating every moment, every situation. I just want to leave the waking world behind. And let the two lights become eclipse by night. Oh, how do I just want this tired mind to feel at ease, to let the world cease. But I don't think that wish will become reality.

The only difference between day and night, is that one is dark and one is light. The only difference between day and night, is if the sun is out or if the stars are shining. I see one pass by, I close my tired eyes, and wish for a moment of rest.

Recreating and changing situations, what could have been and what could have happened. Thoughts, ideas, memories going back and forth. One thought always comes up, "when will sleep finally take me in, and let my mind and body rest."

I am an insomniac. And I don't need rest, these thoughts makes my heart beat out of my chest. I don't need sleep, because I have these emotions to keep. I don't need sleep.

I see the sun start coming up, and I think back to the tornado of thoughts that just went through my head. Say to myself "to hell with it, let your mind go blank". I see the sun shining bright, hear the sounds of the world waking up, my mind was just a little late, but now the sun is the moon, as my mind and body finally give into the temptation of sleep. My last thought is "just another night down, at least the moon and stars kept me company."
