I Can't Get No Sleep!

I come in peace and i mean you no harm
My old friend sleep trying to use its charm

But I'm not really listening to its tales of dreams
Over tiredness really does exist it seems

Desperate for sleep but my mind won't rest
Really is putting my patience to the test!

I've counted sheep and cows and goats
I've sat in my rocker and rocked like a boat

One last try and then I'm getting up
Put on the kettle,anybody fancy a cup?

why...

Why am I awake. It's only half past five. Worked hard yesterday. Barely felt alive. I thought it may have been. Just a toilet break. Oh land of Nod, please take me back. My sanity's at stake.

Tired

As I lay alone in my bed, Endless thoughts Run through my head. I want to scream. I need my rest, I long to dream. Eyelids won't even droop. My brain is running An endless loop.

Odd Little Poem 

You make me feel like everything will be okay. That you are here for me whatever time of the day. The feeling is mutual. My fun loving friend. Even if you do drive me round the bend.
