Sometimes I cannot find the time
To close my eyes and only dream
But when the moon shines past clouds
my thoughts dance all around
Twirling onto my very bed sheets
Its quite a nuisance.
a pain, if you will
To close my eyes and think of thoughts
But never drift into a slumber
forever tired. forever strained.

I'll open my eyes. Not feel a comfort
Yet the time has gone and past
I have no time to regain sleep
For the rush of day whisk me by
My eyes will blur with my tears
When I blink and hope to sleep
Always dream. But gain no slumber.

For so many years I have had problems falling asleep to one degree or another.  It's a minor but persistent nuisance.
Now I take meds for it.  The meds sort of work and sort of don't.
There may never be a solution to it really.  Sometimes I'm hopeful, but I will probably have to more or less live with it.
Yawns theatrically and laughs, or maybe snores??????

Hey, nobody's human!

Yeah I might be prescribed with some sleeping meds. Its just getting ridiculous. I've only gotten 14 hours of sleep this past 3 days. Its quite annoying..

But thanks for reading.
