Going to bed, going to bed
Fluffing my pillow to lay down my head
Making myself so snug and tight
Getting ready before I say good night

All is calm, no sound in the air
Closing my eyes as I say a prayer
I wait for myself to drift away
Remembering things that happened today

But something is wrong, something's not right
Sleep is impossible it seems tonight
Why can't I sleep? What's keeping me awake?
I ponder those questions and begin to shake

Something's troubling, something's gone bad
I think and think and it drives me mad
Sleep is no longer the target now
Thoughts creep in, and I let them allow

Thoughts that haunt and will not leave
Thoughts so numerous and all deceive
Thoughts that make me want to scream
These thoughts will carry into my dreams

My mind now cluttered, it makes me sick
I stop and think about nothing so quick
But feelings and thoughts will take over my mind
Cues and triggers that make me remind

These feelings and thoughts will eventually die
I sigh, pause, then roll onto my side
These adventures I have are not alright
This is what happens when I say good night

That's when you need an angel to sing you a lullaby.
Love,

Of sound, and speech let all lift the hearer!

Oh I know the feeling.  Your mind takes over and just will not let go.  Try a cup of warm milk.  Very well said.  Love, Joyce
