Been awake for 20 hours now. Tried taking a nap earlier, but nothing rested. I tried going to bed around 10:30pm, but two hours later here I am on the internet. My mind races with thoughts. Dreams won’t invade and carry me off to the sandman.

stretched out

sleepless

tossing and turning

 

words

bouncing around

spinning

out of control

in a tired mind

that wants

sleep

 

oh where

oh where

are you my little dreams

so tiny

possbily exquisite

are you lingering

around the dark, twisted corner

are you hiding

under my bed

too scared to come out

 

sleepless

after being awake 20 hours

 

please let my mind and eyes close

maybe for two hours this dreary morning
