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
