I toss and turn, but sleep won't come,
My eyes are tired, my mind undone.
The clock ticks on, a constant hum,
And still I lay, a restless one.
Every night is the longest day
Untill I see the small sliver of sun over the bay
The bay where the birds eat and play
I cant escape this but they can flyaway
So quite, not peacful
Sometimes i get stuck in that place between being sleep or awake
Conscious but yet it all seems fake
As if I'm looking at a world unfamiliar to me
But where else could I be?
Tired but panicked
Slightly apathetic
Can't get to sleep
When I'm so exhausted
Let me sleep
My eyelids are heavy
But demons await me
For when my mind clears
