Sea of Thoughts

Sleepless

The sun sets as the moons rises.

I close my eyes waiting for the relief of sleep,
It doesn't come.

I hear the voices of my house go silent,
And I know I am alone

I think of what will come when the sun returns,
What will become of me,
What will I do,
What will happen.

My mind wanders,
I think of wonderful things that could happen,
They won't though.

I pass the time by imagining stories,
But my heroes can sleep,
Why can't I?

I sing songs in my head,
They say what I cannot,
They express what I have yet to feel.

I know it's late,
But sleep still doesn't come.

I don't understand what is wrong with me,
I can't help but feel I'm doing something wrong,
I'm stupid,
Useless,
Annoying...

Sleepless.

Waiting for the sun to return and release me from these thoughts.
