Sleep eludes me tonight, My mind puts up too much fight, I should really go to bed, But I can’t calm my head, The hours are gradually ticking by, The sun will soon appear in the sky, Then I will have to head off to work, Without sleep I shall go berserk, So it would be better if I could just sleep, Preferably it would be nice and deep, Being awake is no good for me, I will need to down lots of tea, But I don’t know how to settle my mind, Inner peacefulness I can’t seem to find, So here I am writing this, Thinking of those that I miss.

Sleep
Sleep eludes me tonight, My mind puts up too much fight, I should really go to bed, But I can’t calm my head, The hours are gradually ticking by, The sun will soon appear in the sky, Then I will have to head off to work, Without sleep I shall go berserk, So it would be better if I could just sleep, Preferably it would be nice and deep, Being awake is no good for me, I will need to down lots of tea, But I don’t know how to settle my mind, Inner peacefulness I can’t seem to find, So here I am writing this, Thinking of those that I miss.
