Sleep Is Not Easy

Lay in bed Sleeping time is finally here Just ready to pass out Forget the world Ready to dream Mind won't quit It still wants to reflect Isn't that what dreams do Reflect on our issues The brain won't hear it It still wants to speak Now I feel crazy I yell in my head Shut up! But it yells back with more thoughts And finally it quiets Dozing off my breathing slows No more tossing and turning Drifting between my dreams and reality No longer able to tell the difference And then suddenly BAM! heart pounding Eyes wide open and muscles tense I've been tricked by my own mind Haha, it mocks me You thought you were going to fall asleep I only pranked you But now come on, we are both tired Let us both rest, time to sleep, goodnight
