Take Me Home (Original Poems)

Tired - Poem 65

You get so tired,

But you can't sleep.

Your eyes are closed every moment possible during the day.

Though, the moment you disappear into your room, only wanting to go to bed,

You just can't seem to ease your mind.

Your eyes wander the ceiling.

They watch the dark fan blade go in circles on the same track.

Shadow dance on the walls, giving you a fright often.

You are wide awake now,

Because all you wanted was sleep, though your mind thinks you don't need it.

Making you think of more things to question.

Letting you really think about what you are doing wrong.

How eating that day was a terrible idea and that you should that never even opened your mouth.

Though don't worry,

Because you will sleep during the day.
